Intensity
An aromatically powerful Rivesaltes: it is at once intense on the palate and lifted by a nice freshness. An iconic, inimitable wine!
More infoThis 100% Carignan was harvested at optimal maturity, having been farmed organically (without certification). Whole bunches undergo vinification and the wine is raised for 2 years in concrete vats and oak barrels. After aging in the cellar for around 10 years and decanting for 2 hours before serving, the wine unveils an intense purple robe, powerful aromas of red fruits lifted by touches of garrigue and mint. Works wonders with a magret de canard.
