DESCRIPTION
History
The NSCR (Nouvelle Société de la Côte Radieuse), founded in 2006 in Rivesaltes, specializes in preserving and showcasing old vintages of Vins Doux Naturels from Roussillon. Through rare cuvées, it highlights the exceptional heritage of Maury, an iconic appellation in the Pyrénées-Orientales, renowned for its powerful, long-aging wines.
Vinification
Made predominantly from Grenache Noir grown on the schist and marl soils of Maury, this 1970 vintage is the result of mutage on the grapes, preserving the natural sugars of the fruit. After prolonged maceration, the wine aged in old foudres and demijohns, gradually developing refined oxidative notes. Over fifty years of aging have shaped a wine that is both rich and exceptionally elegant.
Tasting Notes
Its dark, brick-hued color announces the complexity of a wine at full maturity. The nose opens with aromas of walnut, chocolate, and coffee, lifted by black cherry and candied raspberry. On the palate, it is broad and silky, combining warmth and balance, with a luscious thread of figs, dried fruits, and cocoa. A wine for meditation, ideal with a dark chocolate cake, aged blue cheeses, or simply to be savored on its own, reflecting half a century of history.
REGION
Roussillon
France
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.
