Beaume de Venise, “Rocca Luna”
Vintage: 2021
Vegan Wine.
Beaume de Venise is Lunar. There’s no better word to describe this vintage. It starts in the vines, nourished by grey soil composed of marl with silvery reflections and fragments of limestone.
A high-altitude vineyard, between 200 and 300 meters, directly below the spiky, white cliffs of the Dentelles de Montmirail mountains.
Even the name of this terroir has a lunar ring to it: Trias, a soil that has existed since the time of the dinosaurs.
The winemaking process too is lunar, offering up its fair share of surprises with each new vintage. Nature, with its whims and strong spirit, serves us something different each year.
Therefore, we have no choice but to adapt. Sometimes we destem. Sometimes we don’t. Maceration can be carbonic or traditional. Then the lees might be mixed, but they’re always handled with great care.
Sulfur, however, is never part of the equation. We have to draw the line somewhere!
And the aging never changes: 100% concrete tanks. The idea is to highlight the extraordinary fruity aroma of the grapes and the very particular minerality of this wine.
The tasting experience is also lunar. First, the nose is incredibly complex. It marries raspberry, blackcurrant, and violet with notes of chocolate and rosemary.
It only takes a sip to fall under its spell:
Then, the body is dense, suave, generous, enveloping. Overall, the wine sits in harmony, leaving the trace of a gentle caress on the palate.
Definitely a wine for lovers, madly in love, or for those who just want to get a bit closer to the moon.
Grape Varieties: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre.
Tasting Notes: The colour is red purple, dense with purple reflections. The nose is intense and complex with aromas of fresh and red fruits and violets. The palate is soft and tasty with very fine tannins.
Food Pairing Suggestions: Drink within 8 years. Perfect match with meat stew such as lamb stew, or sweet and sour dishes. Fantastic match with a coulommiers cheese,
Serve at 16C-18C.
