AOP Beaumes de Venise Red

Tasting

Beautiful deep red colour with purplish highlights. The nose is very seductive and powerful, revealing aromas of violets complemented by light vanilla notes. On the palate, this wine is fine, yet intense, with flavours of sweet spices complemented by supple tannins. The finish is long, with hints of garrigue spice.

Food & wine pairings

Eggplant caviar loaf with tomato coulis, vegetarian eggplant lasagne, grilled rib steak with Provençal herbs.

Laurus

Laurus means ‘Laurel’ in Latin, a Roman symbol of excellence. Here excellence is all about “terroir”: the grapes are grown on parcels selected for their ability to express the very best of each Appellation.

The term “terroir” encompasses a soil, a climate and people. Here it is expressed through sustainable partnerships with wine-growers who share our vision. The perfect combination of grape variey & soil, the precise maturing process in unique 275l. French oak "Laurus" barrels refines the structure, producing complex wines, with plenty of character, beautiful elegance and a long ageing potential.
