DESCRIPTION

History

A true guardian of old vintages, the Dom Brial winery preserves patiently aged oxidative treasures in its cellars. The 1969 vintage is part of the prestigious "9" series, illustrating the nobility of great amber Rivesaltes. It is distinguished by 3 stars and a "Coup de Cœur" from the Guide Hachette, the highest possible honor.

Vinification

Crafted primarily from Macabeu and white and grey Grenache. Produced via direct pressing and fortification (mutage) with neutral alcohol. The aging process was extended for over forty years in ancient oak vats (foudres), allowing for the development of complex oxidative aromas and an elegant rancio.

Tasting

Its deep amber robe with golden highlights heralds a sumptuous nose of prunes, walnuts, dried fruits, thyme, and rosemary. The palate, entirely smooth and supple, reveals a generous palette where honey, cocoa, candied citrus, and silky oak intertwine. The finish is long and fresh.

Rivesaltes is one of the great vins doux naturels of Roussillon. Made mainly from Grenache, Macabeu and Malvoisie, it comes in amber, tawny, garnet and rosé styles. Aged for a long time, old Rivesaltes reveal unique aromas of candied fruit, walnut and rancio, the oxidative note sought by connoisseurs. Alongside them, Muscat de Rivesaltes, with its own AOC since 1956, offers another side, all freshness with scents of grape, citrus and white flowers. Together they form a rare wine heritage, perfect for lovers of wines built to age and historic vintages.
