DESCRIPTION
History
Château Les Pins, owned by Dom Brial, has for several decades produced cuvées recognized as benchmarks of the appellation. The estate cultivates its plots on high clay-limestone terraces with rolled pebbles, an ideal terroir for giving the wine its finesse and depth.
Vinification
Made from Muscat à petits grains and Muscat of Alexandria, this vintage benefited from a partial fortification on the skins, preserving aromatic intensity. Aging in an oxidative environment reveals a complex and refined palette.
Tasting
Its ochre and luminous color announces a wine of character. The nose blends bitter orange, dried fruits, and a subtle touch of fine herbs. The palate, sweet and balanced, unfolds elegant aromas of walnut and verbena.
REGION
Languedoc-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.
Recommended for you:
A vintage of balance, carried by the finesse of fine herbs and dried fruits. Chiselled, elegant, almost ethereal.
