A Prix d’Excellence was again awarded to the Rives-Blanques range in the latest edition of this guide to French wines.

Occitania (Mauzac) has real personality … with great richness on the palate …a purebred with all the hallmarks of its terroir, they said.

Odyssée (Chardonnay) surprises with its lovely mouthfeel and complexity

Dédicace (Chenin blanc) is remarkable … intense …combining fullness with freshness

Also very successful are Le Limoux (“a good representative of the appellation”); Blanquette de Limoux with its “fine mousse, bringing together an attractive roundness with a bouquet of white flowers and citronella”, and the IGP Chardonnay du Domaine, “lively, floral and easy to drink”, they concluded.
