Muscat de Rivesaltes
A multi-faceted terroir nestled between the Spanish foothills and the Mediterranean Sea
L'AOC Muscat de Rivesaltes covers almost 99 communes in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, including 90 in the Pyrénées-Orientales département and only 9 in the Aude département. This position means that the region benefits from a wide variety of terroirs, with granitic soils composed largely of schist in the north-western communes and clay-limestone subsoils in the Corbières area. But the terroirs of Collioure and Banyuls also provide a good proportion of silica.Two grape varieties for an exceptional Muscat de Rivesaltes AOC
The appellation produces natural sweet white wines from Muscat à Petits Grains and Muscat d'Alexandrie grapes. Powerful and intense, Muscat d'Alexandrie is full-bodied, with aromas of ripe fruit, grapes and rose. Fine and fresh, Muscat à petits grains brings aromas of exotic fruits, mint and lemon.Muscat de Rivesaltes Red, rosé or white: a question of affinity
What differentiates the color of theAOC Muscat de Rivesaltes lies in the ripening time of the grape pulp in contact with the red skin of the grape variety. The Muscats de Rivesaltes red are quite powerful and allow longer cellaring for more pronounced flavors. It's all a matter of taste!More information on the Muscat de Rivesaltes
