March 2009: The American wine publication Wine Enthusiast selects the Rives-Blanques chardonnay Cuvée de l'Odyssée as its Best Buy of the month …


The respected American wine publication, Wine Enthusiast awarded 90 pts to the Rives-Blanques chardonnay, Cuvée de l’Odyssée, calling it “a terrific Chardonnay from Limoux, an area more typically known for its Blanquette (which uses the Mauzac grape) but certainly not limited to it. It’s a ripe and rich wine, loaded with aromas of red apple, nectarine pit, and almond milk. The mouth shows a bit more vibrancy with flavors of lime essence backed by honeydew. Round and fantastically balanced, with a long finish kissed by toasted oak.”
