The Beaumes-de-Venise appellation covers the southern slope of the Dentelles de Montmirail, an amazing series of limestone pyramids that provide a cool, mild microclimate with optimum sunshine. The soil consists of marl and trias, a specific sort of terroir that exists only in the CĂ´tes du RhĂ´ne. Our vines produce elegant, classy red wines on this light and not very stony soil.
This Cru Beaumes de Venise has a deep, dark colour and a nose of red and black fruit. It features rich, smooth tannin on the palate that gives the wine a suave, attractive flavour. This young, opulent, and vivacious wine also has a beautiful long aftertaste.

The Gigondas appellation is naturally delimited by the Dentelles de Montmirail to the east and the upper plateaux of the Ouvèze River to the west.
