October 2020: Rosemary George MW, author of the comprehensive new book, The Wines of the Languedoc, selects some of her favourites from Rives-Blanques for her blog, Taste Languedoc.

Rives-Blanques received some high praise  from the British Languedoc wine expert, Rosemary George MW this month.

« As good as the best Bonnezeau or Coteaux du Layon », she said of our Late Harvest Chenin blanc Lagremas d’Aur.  « Try detecting the difference in a blind tasting, she challenged.

The Chenin blanc, Dédicace, »long one of my favourite white wines from the Languedoc » is « elegantly mouth-filling. »

Our zero-dosage partially oak-fermented Saphir is « a Crémant to linger over ».

And our 100% Mauzac, until recently the only one in the Limoux appellation, is « delicious ».

« If Mauzac is as good as this », she said, « it certainly deserves a much better reputation ».
