Presentation
Located at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, Beaumes de Venise has a particularly warm climate. This allows the grapes to reach full maturity and therefore produce a Vin Doux Naturel (fortified wine) that will pair perfectly with desserts, especially fruity ones.
The vintage
The years in 9 regularly mark the memory of winegrowers and this vintage was no exception. After an early bud burst in early April, flowering was gradual and took place in good conditions in all the vineyards. Then a hot summer began in late June, which the vines bravely resisted: they suffered little from water stress, thanks to the chamomile herbal infusions we sprayed on the vegetation to cope with the heat. Finally, the harvest went as usual, without any particular precocity. The wines are promising; a vintage in 9 is born, once again, under a lucky star.

On the Dentelles de Montmirail between the town of Carpentras and the village of Vacqueyras.

Pretty yellow colour with delicate green reflections. The very expressive and intense nose exudes notes of quince, rose and lychee. The powerful yet balanced palate offers intense aromas of peach and white flowers. On the finish, a light crunchy almond note brings freshness to this Muscat.
