The authoratitive wine guide published by La Revue du Vin de France and edited by Olivier Poussier (Best Sommelier 2000), Antoine Gerbelle and Olivier Poels included two family-run domaines in Limoux in its final selection of the best wines of France.
Of the Rives-Blanques wines, they said the 2008 vintage was ‘irreproachable’. All Rives-Blanques wines across the range were included in the guide. Over 10,000 wines across the country were tasted, and the final selection for the guide whittled down to 1300 vineyards.
