Beaumes-de-Venise

Beaumes-de-Venise is a Rhône Valley appellation, recognized as an AOC in 1937, and qualified as a "Cru des Côtes du Rhône" in 2005. The vineyards are located on the south-southeast slopes of the Dentelles de Montmirail.

The main grape variety of AOC Beaumes-de-Venise is Grenache noir for at least 50% and the complementary grape variety is Syrah for a minimum of 25%. Mourvèdre, Cinsault and other grape varieties authorized in the Rhône Valley may be added, with the possibility of 10% white grapes.

The character of each Beaumes-de-Venise AOC cru is determined by its terroir: the nature of the soil, its exposure and the prevailing climate are all essential factors in the quality of each wine from each parcel. AOC Beaumes-de-Venise red wines come from three major terroirs: Terres du Trias, Terres Blanches du Crétacée and Terres Grises du Jurassique.

Respect for the environment and the quality of our wines are at the heart of the concerns of the 100 winegrowers who run this Beaumes-de-Venise AOC.
