1978 ‘Cuvee Aime Cazes’ Rivesaltes AOC

The Domaine Cazes is one of the largest biodynamic producers in France. Their Rivesaltes Cuvée Aimé Cazes is a blend of Grenache Blanc and Grenache. It was aged 22 years in barrel and 10 years in the bottle before release. It has 116 g/L of residual sugar and clocks in at 15% ABV. Complex flavors of toffee, bacon, coffee, raisin, and orange peel. Rich on the palate without being overly sappy.

A wine enriched by myriad aromas: green nuts, Seville oranges, figs, dried apricots, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom… Fragrances whose incredible length is emphasized by the fleshy and suave character of the wine.

If you are a fan of Port, Sherry, and Madeira it’s time to check out the Vin Doux Naturel from Languedoc Roussillon.
