A wine representative of the appellation's terroir. This 2017 Beaumes de Venise is a ripe and very fragrant wine, with aromas of black fruits, tapenade, spices and garrigue. A nice acidity has been brought by the high altitude parcels. The smooth tannins give way to a freshness and a liquorice finish.

90/100 - PARKER
"With grapes for the 2019 Beaumes de Venise coming from parcels up to 600 meters above sea level, the 2019 Beaumes de Venise contains a bit of green peppercorn character alongside red raspberries, garrigue and hints of leather. A cofermented blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah and 10% Cinsault that's then aged in a mix of barrels and tank, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and easy to drink."

A selection of parcels on 3 soils of the appellation: Triassic Marls, Terres Blanches, Terres Grises located on three different levels of altitude (from 100 to 600 metres).

Vinification

The height amplitude has allowed all the grape varieties that make up this blend to be vinified together. 

Ageing

The high altitude vines have provided sufficient acidity to allow a Burgundian type of maturation with 50% in 3-5 year old barrels and 50% in stainless steel tanks.
