Region
Grenache forms the backbone of southern Rhône blends, including Châteauneuf du Pape, Gigondas and Vacqueyras. The vast area of Côtes du Rhône offers a great diversity of soils, microclimates and a variety of grapes to create a range of styles at all quality levels. The aromatic dessert Muscat de Beaumes de Venise, is fragrant and sweet.
Producer
Two miles east of the town of Gigondas, across the Montmirail Mountains, begins the small appellation of Beaumes-de-Venise. The family of Daniel Begouassel began here nearly three generations ago as growers and vine plant experts. The winemaking style of Daniel Begouassel is modern and forward-thinking. His Muscat Beaumes-de-Venise always exhibits more freshness and elegance than others made in the region. From the 2004 vintage red Beaumes de Venise has become the latest `Côtes du Rhône Villages` to be awarded its own appellation.
