Xavier Vignon - Beaumes de Venise - Red - 2021

Wine:

Shaped by a fresh and balanced vintage, the 2021 Red Beaumes de Venise delivers pure and generous fruit aromas. With its distinctly Rhône Valley character and southern identity, it avoids any overly ripe profile, showcasing a harmonious and well-balanced expression true to the vintage’s natural freshness. Aromas of blackberry and blueberry are elegantly supported by subtle oak that enhances the purity of the fruit. The palate offers texture and depth, with well-integrated tannins and a fruit-forward profile that remains prominent throughout. This wine is an excellent pairing for red meats, duck breast, or venison loin with pink peppercorn sauce. Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee.
