Domaine La Casenove - Muscat de Rivesaltes 2009
Note: RVF 15/20
The estate’s Muscat wines are made to age. The grapes are harvested at peak ripeness to bring out their characteristic candied fruit aromas. A naturally sweet wine that pairs perfectly with foie gras and desserts... A must-try!

Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
A former press photographer, Étienne Montès has taken over the family estates, Casenove and Saint-Luc. The La Garrigue and Torrespeyres vintages form the core of the range and are easy to enjoy. The Commandant-Jaubert vintage is produced only when the vintage is suitable. It is named after a sailor, Étienne’s great-great-uncle, who built the estate.

About the estate:
Etienne Montès, a former renowned press photographer, has been at the helm of the family estate since the late 1980s. With his deep understanding of his terroirs and their potential, he produces a fine range of Côtes Catalanes IGP wines, ranging from simple, fruit-forward wines to full-bodied vintages—such as the highly acclaimed Commandant Jaubert. The fortified wines are quite serious but sometimes struggle to temper their warm character. The entire range is sincere and of good quality. Wine lovers will find beautiful, authentic wines here, capable of aging very well in the cellar. However, the wines are often heavy on alcohol, which detracts from their finesse and leads us to remove the estate’s star rating. A few technical and stylistic adjustments would likely suffice to breathe new life into the style of these wines, whose depth of flavor is undeniable.
