In a few words ...

The rivesaltes aoc covers an area of 5180 hectares planted with grenache noir for the reds and grenache blanc, grenache gris and macabeu. The name means "high banks" in Catalan. The vineyards cover a surface area of 5180 hectares on terraces and hills crossed by 3 rivers. There are 4 different types of rivesaltes. Amber rivesaltes are aged for 2 years in an oxidative environment. They have a golden color and aromas of hazelnut and almond. Red Rivesaltes (75% Grenache) have a ruby color and red fruit aromas. They are kept for 12 months, including 3 in bottle. Rivesaltes tuilés (50% Grenache) are aged in large containers in contact with ai for 2 years. Their color is tiled with brown highlights. They offer aromas of coffee, candied fruit and cocoa. Finally, Rivesaltes hors d'âge are aged for at least 5 years.
The 1958 vintage was much criticized, but produced some very good wines, elegant, light and fine. The Graves wines were particularly successful and the Sauternes, despite reduced production, produced fresh, rich, fruity wines.
