Les Sources de Château de La Rivière

Second label of the property, Les Sources du Château de La Rivière is a blend of vines situated on the limestone plateau and on the slope (limestone & clay). This wine is a blend of 100% merlot picked in the best condition, sorted before and after destemming. The wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks which are filled by gravity.

For half of the production, we do a hot maceration before the alcoholic fermentation, followed by the alcoholic fermentation at a temperature of 20-22°C in order to preserve the freshness of fruits aromas.

100 000 bottles are produced every year.

The red ruby color of the wine offers us a very expressive nose with raspberry and blackcurrant aromas. Some menthol notes brings freshness and vitality. Small stewed red fruits dominates the mouth. The attack is smooth, the texture is velvet and the tannins are delicate.
