1947 VDN AOP Rivesaltes - Rivesaltes Appellation Rivesaltes Contrôlée - 2 Jennies (0.5L)

2 x Rivesaltes 1947 – Vignobles Mossé, Sainte-Colombe
Vintage Collection – Wooden Collector Cases with Certificates of Authenticity
An Extraordinary Post-War Treasure from One of Roussillon's Historic Vineyards

Presented here is an exceptionally rare and prestigious collection of two bottles of Rivesaltes 1947, originating from the renowned Vignobles Mossé in Sainte-Colombe, and offered in elegant wooden presentation cases accompanied by individual Certificates of Authenticity.

More than simply a wine, this collection represents a tangible piece of French viticultural history. Harvested in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, these remarkable bottles have matured gracefully for nearly eight decades, reaching a level of complexity and rarity that few wines can claim today.

The Heritage of Vignobles Mossé

According to the original presentation, these wines originate from the historic Vignobles Mossé at Sainte-Colombe, a site distinguished by its clay-limestone soils and rich winemaking heritage dating back to the era of the Knights Templar.

The vineyard's exceptional terroir, combined with the traditional grape varieties of the region, including Carignan, Grenache and Macabeu, has given birth to a wine of extraordinary longevity and character.

After decades of patient cellaring, the wine has evolved into a magnificent expression of mature Rivesaltes, revealing the timeless artistry of the great Vin Doux Naturels of Roussillon.

A Wine Beyond Time

The deep mahogany colour announces a wine of remarkable maturity and sophistication.

The bouquet unfolds with extraordinary elegance, revealing layers of:

Dried figs and dates
Candied orange peel
Roasted walnuts and almonds
Precious spices
Cocoa and mocha
Noble rancio notes acquired through decades of ageing

The palate is sumptuous, complex and endlessly persistent, offering the contemplative experience that only the world's greatest mature fortified wines can provide.

This is not merely a wine for tasting.

It is a wine for reflection.

An Increasingly Rare Opportunity

Wines from the 1947 vintage have become exceptionally scarce worldwide.

Each passing year further reduces the number of available bottles, and opportunities to acquire a matching pair from the same historic vintage, preserved in collector presentation format and accompanied by certificates of authenticity, have become extraordinarily uncommon.

For collectors of historic wines, rarity is measured not only by age but by provenance, preservation and presentation. This remarkable lot successfully combines all three.
