Château de Péna - Muscat de Rivesaltes
3*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"A superb freshness that lingers nicely on the finish (Hachette)"
"With a deep yellow color and golden highlights, this highly expressive Muscat opens up without reserve to reveal aromas of honey, white peach, and citrus (orange, mandarin). A frank and dynamic attack preludes a full, long, and intense palate, centered on yellow fruits and orange peel, supported by a superb freshness that extends the finish. We would be tempted to pair it with a Grand Marnier ice cream soufflé." (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

About wine:
With a deep yellow color and golden highlights, this expressive Muscat opens up with unreserved aromas of honey, white peach, and citrus (orange, mandarin). A frank and dynamic attack preludes a full, long, and intense palate, centered on yellow fruits and orange peel, supported by superb freshness that extends the finish. We would be tempted to pair it with a Grand Marnier ice cream soufflé.
About the estate:
The village of Cases-de-Pène takes its name from a 10th-century hermitage built on a limestone rock (penaen in Catalan) that closes off the Agly valley. The black schist soils alternate with ochre clay-limestone soils, forming two superb terroirs on which the twenty or so winegrowers of the local cooperative, founded in 1942 and representing 280 hectares of vines, work.
