Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Brick-red in colour, with delicious aromas of ripe red berries, tobacco and stewed prunes, enveloping a voluptuous palate with refined sweetness and wonderful balance.  The wine was aged in old, used French oak barrels for five years- the length of time required for an ‘hors d’âge’ wine.

The Rivesaltes AOC is flanked by the Mediterranean Sea to the east and surrounded by mountain ranges with the Pyrenees to the west, and the Albères to the south. In geological terms, the appellation endured enormous upheavals in the tertiary and quaternary periods, which created a complex variety of soils, subsoils and a multitude of terroirs. The terroir ranges from the Quaternary Terraces with red pebbles resting on shallow soils, on a clay subsoil with low water reserves which is where the Grenache Noir vines are planted- the variety used to produce the Rivesaltes Tuilé cuvée.

Dom Brial is a cooperative of passionate producers who are following the footsteps of Dom Brial, a Benedictine monk, who was born in Roussillon. Established in 1923, the winery was created with the philosophy of ‘Together We Are Stronger’, in response to the Phylloxera crisis that devastated many vineyards in the Roussillon. Today, the dynamic cooperative represents 247 winegrowers who cultivate the mosaic of diverse terroirs. Pioneers of sustainable development, Dom Brial covers 1,700 hectares which has been certified since 2007 as ‘Sustainable Winegrowing’ and they have been awarded the HVE Level 3 certification. The estate also includes 200 hectares of organically farmed vineyard. Dom Brial is also renowned for its fine wines from Château les Pins, located in the AOC Côtes du Roussillon Villages; a 28-hectare estate located in the heart of the village that was bequeathed by one of the growers to the winery. Dom Brial produces a range of traditional wines, which showcase this striking region.

The grapes were carefully selected, gently pressed and the must was cold settled. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts, in temperature controlled concrete vats. ‘Mutage’ took place to arrest the fermentation, through the addition of alcohol while the sugar levels were still high, preserving the natural sweetness of the wine. The wine was aged in old, used French oak barrels for five years- the length of time required for an ‘hors d’âge’ wine.
