Châteaux de Rieux is a 30 hectare vineyard which has been in the De Soos family since 1870. In the past several years, present day owner Emmanuel de Soos has taken the domaine to new heights, producing a range of wines that are showcase beautifully the unique terroir of the Midi. Grapes for the "02-09-2009" (the date of harvest) were harvested at night to ensure freshness. Grapes were then fermented at cool temperatures in both concrete tanks and new 500L barrels. Eight months of elevage and lees stirring ensure a rich wine, without sacrificing the inherent aromatic intensity of the varietal. Open and expressive, with seamless integration of fruit, oak and acidity. Try it with smoked salmon, trout in cream sauce or chicken salad. 13.5% abv.
