A delicate sweet wine with aromas of roses, hyacinth, apricot, and ripe peaches. This Muscat de Beaume de Venise is wonderfully generous and is ideal on its own, as an aperitif, or with a chocolate dessert for an even more indulgent treat. A guaranteed delight!

Wine rated (2026 guide) 93/100
Rated estate (2024 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
The property owes its name to the Bernardine monks who once owned it. The Castaud family has been running it for five generations. The vineyards (23 hectares, mostly white grape varieties) are planted on the southern slopes of the Dentelles de Montmirail, in a stunning landscape. It is unfortunate that the estate is one of the last defenders of Muscat, as it is a very high-quality product here.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 93/100
Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
This estate embraces a traditional approach to winemaking, without excessive technology or modernism. It's no surprise that the small-grain Muscat grapes produce a nectar with an unparalleled texture and a richness equivalent to that of the greatest Sauternes wines. The Domaine des Bernardins, renowned for the quality of its magnificent Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise wines, also produces a very attractive red wine with a strong personality that we find enchanting. Romain Hall has been making wine with his father since 2007. Although red wine accounts for 30% of production, it has always been present, with the oldest vintage on record dating back to 1847. The estate makes wine from black grapes, in whole bunches, to which 10% white grapes are added during blending. The latter plays an important role in adding body, according to Romain. The wines are very aromatic, and while they have long been a little fiery in their youth, the latest vintages are much more restrained, precise, and masterfully graceful, always capable of aging beautifully over time. Above all, this estate produces stunning Muscats, which can be enjoyed in their youth. But with age, ten, twenty years or more, they acquire incredible complexity.
