Château de Péna - Muscat de Rivesaltes
3*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"A superb freshness that stretches the finish (Hachette)".
"An attractive, deep yellow with golden highlights, this high-expression Muscat opens unreservedly with scents of honey, white peach and citrus fruit (orange, mandarin). A frank, dynamic attack preludes an ample, long and intense palate, centered on yellow fruit and orange peel, supported by superb freshness that stretches out the finish. A Grand Marnier-glazed soufflé would be a temptation". (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

About the wine:
An attractive, deep yellow with golden highlights, this high-expression Muscat opens unreservedly with scents of honey, white peach and citrus fruits (orange, mandarin). A frank, dynamic attack preludes an ample, long and intense palate, centered on yellow fruit and orange peel, supported by superb freshness that stretches out the finish. We'd be tempted by a Grand-Marnier ice-cream soufflé.
About the domain :
The village of Cases-de-Pène takes its name from a 10th-century hermitage built on a limestone rock (penaen catalan) that closes the Agly valley. The black schistous soil alternates with the ochre of the clay-limestone, forming two superb terroirs on which the twenty or so winegrowers of the local cooperative, founded in 1942 and representing 280 ha of vines, work.
