One of Holland’s leading wine and gastronomy writers, Onno Kleyn, reviewed the Rives-Blanques Le Limoux in the Volkskrant of 31 March.
Le Limoux is a special blend of our three AOP Limoux single-variety wines: Odyssée (chardonnay), Dédicace (chenin blanc) and Occitania (mauzac). The first vintage ever made is the 2010, reviewed in today’s newspaper as being like » a white Burgundy … with so much on board, you can only say ‘complex’ … richly endowed. «
Kleyn takes issue with conventional tasting notes, and ends his review on a musical note instead: « Do I hear Mozart? » he asks. « No, it’s Poulenc! »
