2008 Muscat de Beaumes de Venise 'Cuvée Les Trois Fonts', Domaine de Coyeux - 375ml

Beaumes de Venise, Rhone Valley, France

A delicious sweet wine, with notes of lychee, candied apricot and pear, tropical pineapple, complemented by honey undertones. Rich, smooth and sweet on the palate, beautifully balanced by freshness and elegance.

The vineyard provides naturally healthy conditions, due to its altitude, exposure to the sun and the microclimate of the vineyard and enables gentle methods of cultivation to be employed, in order to maintain a healthy vineyard. The vines are planted in alluvial, sandy soils. Excessive buds and leaves are removed in the spring to aerate the strains and increase the leaf’s surface area exposed to the sun. Debudding reduces the production of berries and concentrates the flavours and aromas in those remaining. The living soils, where microbial life creates organic soil enrichment, nourish the vines.

Domaine de Coyeux is a beautifully located winery comprising 130 hectares of vineyard in a one site block, set in the rolling dramatic hillsides of Beaumes-de-Venise. The 120-hectare estate was established in 1950 and since 2020 it has been in the hands of Arnaud and Isabelle Strasser. The vines are planted at an altitude of 260 to 300 metres above sea level, where the ancient soils come from one of the very rare outcrops of the Comtadine region’s Trias. Following an ethical and ecological philosophy, the estate is HVE sustainable certified and is in conversion to organic certification. Winemaker Clément Bernardi fuses traditional vinification with contemporary methods to produce stylish and elegant wines which offer layers of complexity.

The grape clusters were hand-picked at optimum maturity. The grapes were transported in 20-kilogram boxes to retain the high quality of the fruit; they were then destemmed and crushed. Pre- fermentation maceration took place at low temperatures of approximately 13°C lasting for four to six hours. The grapes were pressed and left to settle for 72 hours, followed by fermentation in stainless steel vats for four weeks at 8 to 10°C. This traditional style of winemaking results in a concentration of residual sugar of 110 grams per litre.
