Château les Pins
Château les Pins operates in Languedoc-Roussillon, the sprawling Mediterranean region where Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre thrive in sun-baked soils. The winery's portfolio centers on the fortified wines for which southern France is distinguished. Muscat de Rivesaltes, made from Muscat Blanc and Muscat of Alexandria, captures the aromatic intensity and natural sweetness these varieties are prized for. Rivesaltes Primage, built on Grenache, represents the region's tradition of age-worthy fortified reds. The dry Côtes du Roussillon Villages—a blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre—shows the structure and dark fruit character that define the appellation's still wines. Wine Spectator has rated across the range, reflecting the technical consistency of these offerings.
