Viniou Reviews
The Domaine Casenobe Rivesaltes 1974 is a captivating red wine hailing from the Roussillon region in France. This wine is part of the esteemed Rivesaltes appellation, known for crafting fortified wines with remarkable ageing potential. Although the specific grape blend is not mentioned, Rivesaltes wines often incorporate varieties such as Grenache and Macabeu, renowned for their ability to develop complexity over time. The 1974 vintage, with decades of maturation, promises a rich tapestry of aromas and flavours. The terroir of Roussillon, characterised by a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, provides a nurturing environment for ripe, flavourful grapes. The soils here, a mix of schist, limestone, and clay, contribute to the structure and minerality of the wine.
The Roussillon region has a rich vinicultural history, merging Catalonian and French influences, reflected in both its wines and gastronomy. For this particular Rivesaltes, a match made in heaven would be with luxuriant dishes that echo its depth. Think of slow-cooked lamb shanks with rosemary or a traditional cassoulet. The wine's inherent complexity and structure also make it a splendid accompaniment to matured cheeses, such as Roquefort or aged Comté, creating a harmonious balance between savoury and sweet notes.
For optimal enjoyment, savour this wine slightly below room temperature, around 16-18°C. This temperature accentuates its bouquet and allows the multi-layered palate to fully express itself. It's recommended to decant the wine prior to serving, especially given its age, allowing it to breathe and develop its intricate aromas properly. Witnessing how the wine evolves in the glass can be as delightful as its pairing with culinary delights.
