Our «Saint-Hilaire» cuvée derives its name from the oldest Romanesque chapel in Beaumes de Venise, whose ruins overlook the village and surrounding landscape. Situated at an altitude of 287 metres, on the «Plateau de Courens», the «Saint-Hilaire» chapel offers a glorious view over the plain of the «Comtat Venaissin» and the majestic «Dentelles de Montmirail».
100% Muscat à petits grains
The «Muscat à petits grains» grapes are selected on the hillsides in the South of the appellation with a southern exposure and at around 120m in altitude.
Fully manual picking in 20 kg crates at optimum ripeness and manual sorting. Destemming of the entire harvest. Cold maceration (3°C for about 5 hours) for a part of the cuvée. Pressing, cold settling and fermentation under strict temperature control (12°C). The fermentation is stopped by rapid cooling of the tank to 0°C and the addition of grape spirit. 2% of the wine is aged 5 months in oak barrels.
Vegan Friendly.
Light golden colour. Perfumed nose of white flowers, crystallized orange and exotic fruits. Velvety palate with candied fruit flavours (quince, pear, peach). A delicious Muscat, full and smooth with a delicate finish.
As an aperitif, it also pairs nicely with a tropical fruit crumble and a Tarte Tatin. Enjoy it cool between 10°C to 12°C, now or cellar for up to 5 years.
