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”.
