The wine

Domaine Lafage Rivesaltes Ambré is a fortified sweet wine from the Rivesaltes region in the South of France. This wine is a sublime expression of the grape and the terroir from which it originates, offering a rich and complex taste experience.

Visually, Domaine Lafage's Rivesaltes Ambré is distinguished by its deep amber colour with golden glints, which anticipates the depth of its flavours. On the nose, this wine reveals a captivating aromatic palette, with dominant notes of dried fruits such as dried apricots, sultanas and nuts, complemented by nuances of caramel and honey, as well as a light touch of spices such as cinnamon.

On the palate, Rivesaltes Ambré is voluptuous and silky. The sweetness of the fruit is perfectly balanced by a refreshing acidity, creating a well-rounded and persistent taste profile. Flavours of candied fruit and hints of spice intertwine with a rich texture leading to a long, pleasing finish.

This wine is ideal to accompany a variety of desserts, especially fruit tarts, chocolate based desserts or simply as a digestif to enjoy at the end of a meal. It can also be an excellent accompaniment to mature cheeses, offering a delicious contrast with its intensity and sweetness.
