In 1972 this AOC (controlled appellation) wine brought together under the same label the previous Vins Doux Naturels wines (Natural muscatel wines), Rivesaltes, Côtes d'Agly and Côtes de Haut Roussillon, dating from 1936. Both sweet and strongly perfumed, these wines earned aknowledgement at an early date. Benoît XIII (1360), Jean Ier (1350) ..., are known to have been keen buyers of these wines. |
