of 75 cl
The Muscat Beaumes-de-Venise appellation is known and appreciated for its wines made from white Muscat Blanc Petits Grains, the region’s main grape variety. However, Muscat Noir Petits Grains grapes have also historically been grown in the Beaumes de Venise appellation, and have recently aroused the curiosity of winegrowers. Twenty hectares of this variety disseminated around various slopes have led to the creation of new flavours in white, rosé... and now red wines. The Cave des Vignerons de Beaumes de Venise have created a 100% red Muscat Petits Grains.

Tasting
Possessing a raspberry-red colour with a nose that exudes remarkable freshness and fruitiness, this wine features a firework display of red and black fruit on the palate. Hints of raspberry liqueur on entry give way to overtones of cherries preserved in brandy. The aftertaste is slightly peppery with silky,delicious tannin.
Serving
Best enjoyed when young a temperature of 7-18°C.
Food pairings
Ideal as an aperitif, with duck, and fruity desserts.
"A bit of a curiosity, the NV Muscat de Beaumes de Venise Rouge Exclusif is truly red in hue. It shows attractive floral aromas, a combination of apple blossoms and cherries. It's full-bodied and sweet but balanced by peppery notes and silky traces of tannins on the long finish. Worth a try if you get the chance."
