Rivesaltes 1952 - Château Prieuré du Monastir del Camp

Rivesaltes 1952 - Château Prieuré du Monastir del Camp

Old Rivesaltes directly from the property - Natural sweet wine of Rivesaltes

 Discover our beautiful collection of long aged Rivesaltes from the Monastir del Camp Priory. This is a great gift for those of us who love old French wine vintages. The wine has been stored for many years directly at the estate. The tasting promises to be gourmet and perfect! 

The producers of these natural sweet wines often kept the best vintages to mix them with the weakest. The conservation is ideal: "undisturbed" in 500 liter barrels for decades. These wines have only recently been bottled at the estates.

• 95/100 Parker
• Tasted by Neal Martin in 2014: " This 1952 cask sample has an early bouquet with round blackberry, cocoa, leather and dried honey notes that opens up beautifully in the glass. The palate is harmonious with fine acidity: lots of fig and espresso notes with a nicely concentrated finish and a hint of white pepper in the aftertaste. This wine has great potential - a Rivesaltes bursting with possibilities. Drink now-2025+"
