More about this wine
More about this wine
Since 1943, the only wines entitled to the Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise AOC label are those made from white and black Muscat à petits grains grapes, harvested in the communes of Beaumes-de-Venise and Aubignan. The result is a red, rosé or white natural sweet wine.
100% muscat à petits grains (90% whites, 10% blacks).
Terroir
80% of the blend comes from plots located on claylimestone soils and 20% from sandy soils.
Winemaking
Hand harvest. Low-temperature vinification. Precise mutage allows the alcoholic fermentation to be stopped, limiting the amount of residual sugar as much as possible, while preserving the natural acidity.
Ageing
A large part of the Wine is aged in Wine Globe (glass container) to preserve the purity of the fruit.
Will mature until 2053
