“The region seems to have a notable concentration of producers with an eye on the health of the planet.” Thus began the feature on wines from the Languedoc and Roussillon written by Tamlyn Currin of Team Jancis Robinson, published today on www.JancisRobinson.com
“It is also a place of innovation and close collaboration. I’ve been struck by the team spirit and outstanding quality coming from groups such as the Vinifilles and the Outsiders,”she continued (Rives-Blanques is a member of both).
“The other exciting thing to see is how more and more producers are moving away from international varieties, especially in their whites …”
She summed up our “bone-dry, “Blanquette de Limoux as being the very essence of a “wild, fay spirit”.
The top Rives-Blanques blend, La Trilogie is a “seriously beautiful wine.”
And what a “crazy price for a wine of this quality!” she wrote about our Chardonnay, Odyssée, with its ” cool elegance of Limoux etched into every drop.”
She rightly advised her readers to keep back our “summery bouquet” Aude à la Joie for a year and awarded it 16++ points
