Domaine de Rancy Rivesaltes Ambré Vin Doux Naturel 4 Ans d`Age (750 ml)

4 to 10 Years in barrel
“A forward, supple, beautifully textured Rivesaltes, the NV Rivesaltes Ambré 4 Ans d’Age has classic cigar wrapper, sweet toffee, dried spice and candied orange peel aromas giving way to a medium- bodied, seamless, supple and sexy profile on the palate. It has lots of sweetness, yet it’s never cloying or heavy, and is hard to resist taking another sip. This is a beautiful Rivesaltes that’s incredibly flexible with food, from sipping with almonds to start a meal, pairing with any number of fruit tarts, or just sipping on its own, you can’t go wrong here. 91pts” - Wine Advocate 4/29/15

How to Serve Rivesaltes: The Rancy Rivesaltes Ambré is a fortified wine made in the s style rarely produced today.  The wine is oxidized which means that it will not spoil after being opened. This allows for the wine to be enjoyed, slowly over the course of weeks, or even months. This versatile wine is best served at room temperature to fully appreciate the intense, complex aromas that develop in the glass.  It can be served as an aperitif with nuts, olives, and a variety of hors d’oeuvres.  As a desert wine it goes very well with bread pudding, dates, figs, spice cake, pumpkin pie, or on its own as an after dinner drink.   It is truly a delightful experience that captures the warmth and spice of the South of France.
