Vin Doux Naturel
95/100 Parker
When to drink this great vintage? From now until 2040
"The 1944 Rivesaltes from Domaine Sesqueille reveals a more intense and fragrant bouquet than the 1946, with captivating aromas of candied orange peel, sloes, marjoram, and dried flowers. Smoky notes develop over time. The palate is quite full-bodied, very elegant, with remarkably fine tannins. There are delicate touches of quince, tart cherries, kirsch, spices, and black pepper. This is a Rivesaltes of great elegance and perfect balance. Absolutely splendid!" Neal Martin
Old vintages of Rivesaltes from Château Sisqueille are true gems of Roussillon, made primarily from Grenache and aged for decades in barrels before bottling. Over time, these vin doux naturels develop a deep amber color and a palette of rare complexity: dried fruits, honey, cocoa, coffee, caramel, and notes of rancio. Their balance between sweetness, freshness and power makes them timeless wines, perfect for meditation or special occasions.
