Dry Muscat "Doré des Bernardins" 2022
Pays du Vaucluse

Doré des Bernardins is a dry white wine that we only produce in years when the Muscat à petit grains crop is large enough. We pick the grapes at the same ripeness level as for the Vin Doux Naturel.
In contrast to Muscat de Beaumes, the fermentation isn’t stopped, giving a fruity dry wine with intense Muscat aromas.
