Château Rives-Blanques is a hillside estate near Limoux acquired by the Bories family in 2021, where altitude, cool mountain air, and careful farming give white wines remarkable freshness and precision.
L'Eden is a vibrant Limoux white built around Chenin Blanc, a variety that thrives in the estate’s high altitude vineyards. Its bright acidity, aromatic clarity, and layered texture make it highly versatile for restaurants and specialty retail. The style combines Loire-like freshness with Mediterranean warmth, offering both energy and depth.
Chenin Blanc 100%
The vineyards sit at 350 meters on glacial moraine mixed with clay, limestone pebbles, and sandy soils, where cool nights slow ripening and preserve natural acidity. Hand harvested grapes are gently pressed, fermented slowly, then aged nine months in oak barrels with bâtonnage for texture.
The palate shows mango, guava, pineapple, and lemon verbena with floral lift and a long, balanced finish. The wine earned 90 points from James Suckling and strong recognition from Jancis Robinson.
