Rivesaltes
The Rivesaltes appellation takes its name from the town of Rivesaltes, which means "High Banks" in Catalan. Crossed by 3 rivers - the Agly, the Têt and the Tech - which have shaped a relief of tiered terraces and hills, the Rivesaltes vineyards cover extremely diverse soils: sometimes white, like the pebbles of the middle and high terraces or the granitic arenas of the Albères, sometimes red, like the clays and silts found in the Corbières foothills or the Aspres, sometimes black or brown, like the schists of the Agly valley. The terroir of Rivesaltes is fully expressed in the crus offered by Domaine Sarda-Malet, Domaine de Rancy and Domaine La Casenove.

Château Rombeau - Rivesaltes Ambré 2008 (50 cl)
4.3/5 (9 reviews)
2*Coup de Coeur Hachette
"Amber with light green highlights, the color announces the onset of rancio. The same is true of the open, complex nose, playing with spices, tuns patina, dried figs, fruit in brandy and walnuts. On the palate, it's full and delicate, coated and fresh, silky. Aromas of dried fruit (apricot), smoke and coffee develop, before giving way on the finish to licorice and a persistent nutty note, typical of rancio". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021)
Domaine La Casenove - Rivesaltes Ambré 15/10 (Vendange 2008)
5/5 (2 reviews)
The 2008 Rivesaltes Ambré was aged for 12 months in vats for clarification, 12 hl spent 10 years in 4-hl barrels containing cognac, and 3 hl of Rivesaltes Ambré from the 1993 and 1995 harvests were kept in old Bordeaux barrels used as spices. The nose is bewitchingly elegant. The palate is masterful in its complexity, race and freshness. A truly authentic Rivesaltes!

89/100 A. Larsson
"Finesse, elegance, mellowness. Balance, aromatic intensity on notes of dried fruit, gingerbread, red apricot, tender sweetness in balance with restrained acidity, rancio finish... Pure pleasure, after a most promising welcome on notes of dried apricot, leather, toast, and above all rancio, with walnut kernel." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)
Arnaud de Villeneuve - Rivesaltes Ambré 1970 (VDN)
3*Coup de Coeur Hachette
"We've waited almost half a century to discover this splendid amber. Admittedly, the original blond gold has taken on the amber color with auburn highlights of the patina of time, but the look is still lively, brilliant and welcoming. On the nose, the aromas of white flowers and fresh fruit have disappeared, replaced by softer scents of honey, gingerbread, candied orange and incense, though still with the original "spiciness" of Morello cherry. A note that can also be perceived in a devilishly melted and tender palate, surprisingly ample and supple, with a lovely freshness to back it up. A Rivesaltes of magnificent finesse, a beautiful wine to touch. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019)
Mas des Caprices - Rivesaltes VDN Grenat 2014
4/5 (2 reviews)
Crisp and delicious, this Vin Doux Naturel muté sur grains expresses notes of black fruit, crème de cassis and spices. Velvety, silky and well-balanced, this is a remarkable expression of overripe Grenache noir.
Parcé Frères - Soierie de Rivesaltes 1996
4/5 (8 reviews)
This beautiful Rivesaltes expresses itself on the nose with complex, bewitching aromas, typical of mutated oxidative wines: walnut, caramel, nougat, brandy, Cognac atmosphere. The palate is powerful, mellow and deep, having nicely integrated its sugar, with a lovely mellowness balanced by acidity and a rather long finish of walnut and candied fruit.
Château La Casenove - Rivesaltes Tuilé 2007
4/5 (2 reviews)
Note : RVF 15,5/20
This fine red Rivesaltes cuvée is aged in tanks, in a reducing environment, protected from the air. This allows this naturally sweet wine to preserve its fruit aromas and ensure a slow evolution towards more intense notes. A full-bodied, fat vintage, with great finesse and elegance...
