Rivesaltes Hors d'age Tasting – CAP Vintage

 

TASTING NOTES

A Rivesaltes (Muscat grape variety) aged over 40 years, of great elegance. Tasted in two stages: honey, concentrated blond sugar, then a slightly tart touch melting into a note of rancio, without excessive power. The attack is smooth, the rancio does not impose a long finish, which will be appreciated by some.

The Coume du Roy estate is a family affair. The estate's cellar is one of the oldest private cellars in the village of Maury.

Since the end of the 19th century, six generations of winemakers have succeeded each other, passing on their expertise over time to build the history of the estate.

In 1998, Agnès and Jean-François Bachelet took over the family estate, covering 25 hectares. Concerned with preserving heritage and respecting traditions, they cultivate the vines with care and passion. Their production focuses on natural sweet wines (Maury and Muscat de Rivesaltes). They have also developed other wines to complete their range with the same goal: to obtain quality wines.

The Maury Coume du Roy Blanc wines are made primarily from Grenache Noir, sometimes blended with Carignan and Syrah grape varieties.

Cap Vintage certifies the conformity, origin, and quality of this Maury.
