At an altitude of 100 to 200 meters, clayey-limestone slopes with a schistous subsoil are exposed due south and take full advantage of the benefits of the sun and the Tramontana. This terroir brings a very nice minerality and a spicy finale.

Selective and rigorous sorting is carried out during manual harvesting. The skin maceration allows maximum extraction. Cold settling and controlled fermentation at 16°C are the aromatic guarantors of this Muscat de
Rivesaltes.
The stoppage of fermentation is obtained by the addition of 7% of pure alcohol and the residual sugars are approximately 115 g.
An aging in oak barrels brings an aromatic concentration of high quality and a great presence in the mouth very supple and very long.

This Muscat de Rivesaltes is a silky and very subtle wine with a very nice balance between residual fruit sugar, alcohol and aromas. Not pasty, very silky and with a nice freshness.
The aromas of vanilla, citrus, walnut and apricot bring sweetness and sensuality to this drink of the Gods.
As an aperitif, serve the very fresh (6 to 8 °C): your morning virgin palate will appreciate this aromatic explosion when you warm it in your mouth.
On desserts it will perfectly accompany all chocolate cakes, walnuts and almonds. It can also seduce you on
the plate of cheeses and on the foie gras.
This wine is the ideal companion for the end of the meal (fondant au chocolat, cakes with almonds or walnuts) and also on simple baked apples with vanilla ice cream.
