La Ligière - Muscat Beaumes de Venise 2019

A Sweet Tale from the Rhône Valley

Origin and Terroir: Beaumes de Venise is a small but well-known appellation in the southern Rhône Valley, France, especially famous for its fortified sweet wines made from Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains. La Ligière's vineyard benefits from the area's warm, Mediterranean climate and terroir rich in lime and sand, giving the grapes a perfect balance between sweetness and freshness.

Grape Composition: This wine is made from 100% Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, a small but highly aromatic grape variety with a distinctive floral and fruity flavor profile.

Winemaking: The production of Muscat de Beaumes de Venise involves a process called "mutage," where fermentation is stopped by the addition of grape spirit to preserve the grapes' natural sweetness. The wine is then aged, often in steel or concrete, to preserve its fresh and fruity character without the influence of wood.

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

  • Nose: The aroma is intense and enticing with notes of ripe peach, apricot, orange blossom, and perhaps a touch of honey and citrus fruits such as tangerine. There is also a scent of exotic spices and light flowers.
  • Taste: On the tongue, the wine is rich and sweet, but with a fresh acidity that balances the sweetness. The taste notes include tropical fruits, floral honey, and a bit of spicy ginger. The texture is often supple and oily, which gives a pleasant mouthfeel.
  • Finish: The finish is long and elegant, with the sweetness of the fruit and flowers slowly fading away, left behind by a clean citrusy freshness that keeps the wine from being sticky.

Food pairing: This Muscat is a classic dessert wine, perfect to accompany fruit-based desserts such as tart or sorbet, but also good as a counterbalance to foie gras, blue cheese, or as a digestif at the end of the meal.

Ageing Potential: Although this type of wine is often enjoyed young for its freshness, La Ligière's Muscat Beaumes de Venise 2019 can be aged for several years, where it will develop more complex flavors of dried fruit, nuts and caramelized notes.

La Ligière - Muscat Beaumes de Venise 2019 is a wine that offers a piece of the sun and sweetness of the Rhône Valley, a fortified wine that is both festive and refined, ideal for those looking for a tasty end to a meal or a sweet experience in itself
