Rhonéa - Dom Venitia, AOC Beaumes de Venise, Rouge, 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.

30-years old vines

Syrah on sandy soils from the Miocène period (softness & roundness). Grenache on limestone soils in the heights of the village of Lafare (freshness).

Manual harvest at optimum maturity

Grenache grapes are lightly crushed. Syrah grapes are vinified in whole bunch to get a maximum of fruits. Short vatting (12-15 days) at controlled temperature (27°C).
