Domaine Fontanel, Muscat de Rivesaltes, L’Age de Pierre, 2009
In Stock Now!
Pale lemon. Such a voluptuous scent: hothouse lilies and sun-warmed grapes. Intense, sweet tropical flavours, redolent of pineapple, concentrated and viscuous. Now-2013
The Fontaneil’s Muscat is made entirely from the superior Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains: it has an enchantingly fresh and floral air, but is satisfyingly concentrated and it keeps well too. The Ambré is made not from Muscat but rather from late-picked, 60 year-old vines of Grenache Blanc and Gris. The Ambré - literally amber - tone develops after at least five years of mildly oxidative ageing in barrel. The 1998 was bottled after nearly ten years in barrel, and Pierre thinks it will last twenty years. This has built up a cult following among our customers.
