Presentation
While the origins of Muscat Petits Grains grapes in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail date back to Antiquity, it was in 1348 that Beaumes de Venise became part of the Comtat Venaissin. When the popes decided to settle in Avignon, Clement VI made Muscat de Beaumes de Venise his official favorite aperitif. The history tells that he enjoyed it chilled in spring water.
In 2025, the designation celebrates its 80th anniversary, having been officially recognized in 1945.

The vintage
The Muscat Beaumes de Venise appellation celebrates its 80th anniversary this year, having been officially recognized in 1945. Since its creation, it has become a symbol of natural sweet wines. Its unique terroir, combining sunshine, garrigue, and mountains, continues to produce wines of magnificent aromatic richness
Location
Vines are located in the Dentelles de Montmirail, around the village of Beaumes de Venise.
Winemaking
After a manual harvest during the coolest hours of the day, the grapes are brought to the cellar to begin fermentation. This process is then stopped by addition of wine alcohol ("mutage" in French), in accordance with the specifications of the AOC. This technique gives our Muscat a beautiful balance between sweetness and acidity.
