Beaumes-de-Venise Red 2021
Beaumes-de-Venise
15,5/20 by Olivier Poussier - Best sommelier of the world
This elegant red wines is excellent with red meats, game meat or truffles.
This is a terroir driven wine no destemming and aging 10-12 months in stainless steel vats.
We don’t follow any winemaking recipe but are constantly searching for the perfect expression of terroir and each vintage’s particular characteristics.
We don’t go for overripe grapes and over-extraction, as we think the wine has to stay refreshing and balanced. Leaving the wine for 15 days in concrete vats, we try to gently extract the tannins and anthocyanins essential for the wine’s structure and colour. The wine doesn’t come into any contact with wood during aging. This way the characteristics of our terroir can fully express themselves.
