WINE DESCRIPTION
Vidal-Fleury Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, rooted in a heritage dating back to 1781, shines as a symbol of the Rhône's winemaking tradition. Its acclaim reached global heights early on, earning accolades from none other than Thomas Jefferson during his 1787 visit to France. Crafted meticulously across vineyard care, winemaking, aging, and bottling, each stage reflects Vidal-Fleury's unwavering commitment to excellence. Nestled in Beaumes-de-Venise, the vineyards thrive on terraced slopes, benefiting from sandy, clayey-marly soils and a Mediterranean climate sheltered from harsh winds. Vinification involves gentle pressing, controlled fermentation, and stainless steel aging for about seven months, resulting in a wine with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, Vidal Fleury Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise offers a captivating bouquet of orange blossom, honeysuckle, and ripe apricots.These enticing aromas are complemented by hints of tropical fruits and a touch of honey.
The palate is equally enchanting, with a luscious and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The wine displays flavors of candied citrus, peach, and exotic spices, which are beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity. The sweetness is well-integrated, providing a harmonious and lingering finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Vidal Fleury
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
