Xavier Vignon : Beaumes de Venise 2021

The vivacity and structure of a Beaumes de Venise wine

The estate

An exceptional winemaker, Xavier Vignon has been recognized for over twenty years as one of the greatest specialists in the Southern Rhône Valley. Through each of his cuvées, he precisely expresses his desire to enhance the great terroirs of the Rhône while affixing his unique signature: that of Xavier Vignon. His exclusive creations, notably the Arcane collection, offer enthusiasts an extraordinary sensory and gustatory experience, a reflection of his boundless imagination.

The vineyard

Resulting from a rigorous selection of plots located on Triassic Marls, White Lands and Grey Lands terroirs, this Beaumes de Venise wine benefits from the diversity of its soils and its altitudes ranging between 100 and 600 meters. Nestled at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, these vineyards give the wine a natural acidity, a true signature of the cru.

Vinification and aging

Vinification takes place in vats, followed by aging carried out according to Burgundian methods: 50% of the wine is aged in 3 to 5 year old barrels, and 50% in stainless steel vats, in order to preserve the balance between complexity and freshness.

Blend

This Beaumes de Venise 2021 from Xavier Vignon is a blend of grenache, syrah and mourvèdre.
