September 2022 – Star-struck: four Rives-Blanques feature in the new Guide Hachette des Vins 2023

The authoritative guide to French wines selected our two Chenin blancs – one dry, one late harvested;  and our two Mauzacs – one sparkling and one dry, for its newly published guide to the 8000 wines in France they best liked. 35,000 wines were tasted for this latest selection.

Blanquette de Limoux –   Mauzac Occitania – Chenin Dédicace – late harvested chenin Lagremas d’Aur

“The elegance of this Blanquette immediately shines through the fine bubbles and delicate aromas” they said of our fizz, made of 100% Mauzac, while  the non-sparkling Mauzac, Occitania, “offers a nice balance between freshness and sweetness”:  Dédicace, our chenin blanc “seduces by its volume, its freshness, and it’s finesse”, while “a beautiful complexity” can be found in our late harvest chenin blanc, Lagremas d’Aur, they said.                                                                                                           ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
