Rivesaltes 1968 Chateau Rombeau Rivesaltes 1968
Rivesaltes is a ‘vin doux naturel’ made in Roussillon in southern France. Vin doux naturel refers to the winemaking style—these are fortified wines made in a similar way to Port by adding spirit part way through fermentation, stopping the process. This results in a fortified wine with noticeable sweetness resulting from the remaining unfermented grape sugars.
Jancis Robinson: “Deep ruby/tawny. Raisiny and lots of acidity. A little gritty. Rancio after long, warm wood-ageing of a blend of Grenache of all three colours. There may also be a little Muscat Alexandre in blends this ‘young’.” 16.5 points
Grape: Grenache
Alcohol: 17%
750ml Vintage: 1968
