Tasting Notes: Stupendously good red Beaumes-de-Venise. Needs a little time to mesh together but this will surely be the best wine ever made from this appellation.
All wines from this producer | Drinking Dates: 2021 to 2030 | Cépagement: 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre | Upbringing: Multi vintage blend from 2015-2016--2017.
Long maceration (over a month) without mechanic extraction. The viognier skins are left in contact with the wine during maceration. Aged for 15 months in 1/3 new barrels (French and Austrian oak with a light level of toast), 1/3 small concrete vats and 1/3 tuns (252 gallon barrels). | ABV: 15% | Critic Reviews: 'Coming from the higher elevation sites, the NV Beaumes de Venise Arcane Etoile is another elegant, finesse-oriented wine from Xavier that has both richness and freshness. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre as well as a small amount of Viognier from 2015, 2016, and 2017, it has something profound in its texture and balance. Notes of black raspberries, currants, dried flowers, lavender, and pepper are followed by a beautiful, full-bodied, elegant wine that might just be one of the greatest red wines to come from Beaumes de Venise.' 95/100 Jeb Dunnock |
