Rhonéa - Carte Or, Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, 2023

RHONÉA, as the name suggests, is the trusted choice for Rhône Valley wines. Our Artisans winegrowers & winemakers have been committed since 1925 to bring you the best from our vineyards & let you taste more than just wine, but the quality & authenticity of our terroirs.

2023 was a year full of contrasts: warm temperatures at the end of December and beginning of January raised concerns about early budding; a return to normalcy continued until February with relatively cool weather; a persistent drought accompanied by a strong Mistral wind, followed by regular rainfall until the end of June. Thanks to constant vigilance in the vineyards, the berries were healthy and well-ripened when harvest started, promising one of the finest vintages of the past decade.

Sandy marls, clay and limestone terroir. Vines are located in the "Quartier des Vigneaux", "Rocalinaud" and "La Gière" sectors, on sandy marls, clay and limestone soils from the Miocene period.

Hand-harvest at optimum maturity. From their arrival to the cellar until they arrived in the vats, grapes are maintained at cold temperatures (4-6°C) to preserve their aromas.

Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a low temperature and is stopped by "mutage" (addition of pure neutral alcohol) to maintain a certain level of natural sugar, balanced by acidity. 4-6 months in vats
