With its Châteaux & Domaines Languedoc selection, Vignobles Foncalieu is embarking upon a mission to promote the South of France's winemaking heritage. A strong commitment, with a single philosophy guiding daily work: combining heritage, winemakers' savoir-faire, and the expertise of agronomy and enology technical services. This is an extraordinary alliance revealing a collection of authentic, refined wines and what proves to be above all a human adventure.

Upon tasting, this wine reveals a rich and seductive aromatic palette, dominated by ripe red fruits, blackcurrants, and black cherries. The expression of terroir emerges through subtle hints of Mediterranean scrubland and gentle spices, adding an extra dimension to the overall profile.

This wine perfectly embodies the spirit of Minervois, a region that skillfully blends tradition and modernity with unparalleled mastery. It is the result of the passionate commitment of the family that owns Château Rivière, preserving a long tradition while embracing contemporary winemaking innovations.
