Château Rives-Blanques Tres Pech, Chardonnay, Limoux 2023 (organic)



£19.50

75cl ALC 13%

This was one of the first wines ever recommended to me by a staff member when I began working at Tanners. Far too many bottles since, that I can admit to, it is still one of my absolute favourites in our entire range. For the chilly days of festive celebration ahead, this wine is a must. A rich, complex chardonnay that offers so much on the palate, from fresh mineral and citrus notes to charred hazelnut and marmalade concentrated depth, which lends itself to far heavier food matches than what you would usually associate with white wine. James Howells

This domaine's showpiece wine is made using the best Chardonnay grapes, fermented and matured in French oak. Burgundian in style, it featured on the dream wine list of three 'Best Sommelier in the World' winners.

Press Review

"Rich, nutty (even a little caramelised) and streaked with fresh garrigue. As with their Dédicace Chenin, the acidity feels softer and more muted than I’ve come to expect with R-B wines, but there is a firm hazelnut and walnut framework around the fruit, so the texture and structure is there. Touch of liquorice on the finish gives it a nice twist."

Château Rives-Blanques

Domaine Rives Blanques is a thirty hectare estate situated between Carcassonne and Limoux in the Languedoc. The vines grow at an altitude of 750 metres within sight of the snow-capped Pyrenees, after which the domaine takes its name. Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and the local Mauzac are the specialities; indeed Limoux is the only AOC Chenin in the South of France. Owners Jan and Caryl Panman are noted for their environmentally-friendly growing practices as well as the number of awards won by their wines.
