At the heart of Roussillon, Château Les Pins (Dom Brial) has been cultivating the art of Muscat for generations. The vines are planted on terraces of rolled pebbles and clay soils, expressing all the richness of the Mediterranean terroir.

Made from Muscat à petits grains and Muscat of Alexandria, this vintage was vinified according to the traditional VDN method: direct pressing, fermentation at low temperature, then fortification. Aging in tanks and barrels has brought complexity and roundness.
