Rivesaltes, La Cuvée des Aigles 1975

Tasting Notes

Pale tawny in colour with a mahogany fade at the rim. The nose is intense with dried fig, salted almonds and a light savoury spice. The palate is rich on entry with a great intensity of honeyed and dried fruit. On the mid palate this mellows into more nutty, savoury flavours. The finish is round and supple without being overly sweet. There is still a core of dried fruits on the long finish which maintains a slightly nutty, nutmeg character. Moreish and complex.

70% grenache noir, 25% grenache blanc, 5% grenache gris
