Since the 17th century this Domaine which takes its name from the Grandmother’s side of the current owners is situated in the heart of the Vaucluse department. Fine producers of Côtes-du-Rhône rouge, blanc and rosé, however it is the Muscat Beaumes de Venise for which they are famous. Family wine makers Pierre Combe and Didier Guittet, respect tradition and the natural handling of their wine is simply an extension of their organic viticultural practices, hand picking and strict grape selection. The cépage of the Muscat Beaumes de Venise is Muscat petits grains; after a rigorous berry by berry selection the fermentation is long (15 days) and cool to preserve the aromatics, the fermentation is halted and the alcoholic degree increased to 15% by the addition of a clean and pure grape spirit. After two rackings to clarify the wine it is gently filtered prior to bottling.
The nose is beautifully aromatic and fresh evoking ripe peach, apricot and grape nuances; the fortification is first class as it is barely noticeable, the wine is loaded with delicate florals and elegance. The palate delivers perfect balance and harmony between the rich ripe, clean fresh sweet pineapple, mango and apricot flavors and the glycerol of the fortification and lovely finesse and acidity. Stays fresh once opened for four days!
