Chateau Rives-Blanques Mauzac - Conservatori 2022

Chateau Rives-Blanques Mauzac – Conservatori 2022

12% abv

Vol- 75cl

A fresh and vibrant 100% Mauzac. The wine is mineral and bright with aromas of lemon, apricot, beeswax and ripe pear. Medium body with crisp acidity and plenty of pear and thyme on the palate. Delicious and balanced with some white pepper on the finish.

The vineyard is situated at 350m in the upper Aude Valley, with influence of Mediterranean and Atlantic oceans. The vines are planted on terrace in rolled pebbles, predominantly limestone. Limoux white wines are unique because they are the only AOP wines in Languedoc to be fermented and matured in oak barrels. The grapes are selected and sorted manually, followed by a low-pressure pressing in which only the best free-run juice is used. Malolactic fermentation in 225L oak barrels, followed by ageing 9 months in oak barrels. Regular stirring of the fine lees for the first four months before Bottling.

This is Limoux’s first modern non-sparkling white. In 2020 Rives-Blanques took a big step back in history in order to step forward into the future: the dying and dead vines in the parcel dedicated to Conservatòri were replaced with 4000 young vines grafted from 100 genetically different, historic Mauzac plants (100 of each) housed at Limoux’s Conservatory of Mauzac under the auspices of the Chamber of Agriculture.

Good stock

An award-winning family-run estate in the high foothills of the Pyrenees in the South of France, making fine, hand-crafted white and sparkling wines. Rives-Blanques lies surrounded by woodland in a Natura 2000 reserve, protected by Europe for its unique combination of Mediterranean and Atlantic flora and fauna. These are the influences that lend both fruit and finesse to their wines: passion and fruit from the Mediterranean and the cool elegance from the Atlantic. The vineyard is on a plateau 350 high in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The same quartz that lies on the top of the peak Rives Blanques, after which the vineyard is named, also lies scattered amongst the vines.
