Maison Cazes Rivesaltes Grenat Red 1993

This Rivesaltes Garnet 1993 from Maison Cazes offers a very dark garnet colour and has a nose marked by aromas of ripe red berries that already leave a little room for the first aromas of evolution, cocoa, plums, spices and leather. The palate is unctuous with the same notes, very mellow tannins and a long finish.

With the 1993 vintage, wines for laying down began to express their full potential and they would go very well with cooked meats or game. The quality of the 1993 vintage was built in the vineyard and for this year in particular it was necessary to have a very developed sense of observation. A hot and humid spring with exuberant vegetation until mid-June, followed by a very hot and dry summer until the harvest. There was competition between the vegetation and the grapes and it was preferable to lighten the load considerably from the vines. The result is wines of concentration, substance and longevity.

Maison Cazes is internationally renowned for its Roussillon wines and in particular its Rivesaltes Garnet, Tuilé and Ambré. The estate has been operated biodynamically for more than 15 years: beyond organic cultivation, natural without pesticides or insecticides, biodynamic cultivation highlights the enhancement of the soil and the vine in their natural environment. Today, Maison Cazes owns the largest vineyard in France converted to organic and biodynamic cultivation.
