Muscat, Beaumes de Venise 2009

The flagship of the Coyeux estate, Muscat de Beaumes de Venise is produced on different contiguous plots of land, grouped together on 42 hectares. Production is around 25 hl/ha. The oldest vines will soon be 65 years old.

A unique grape variety: Muscat petit grain, "the vine of the bees", as the Romans used to say.

This variety has the characteristic of splitting into two sub-varieties, one with black berries and the other with golden berries. Regardless of their colour, these two sub-varieties produce sweet Muscat wine.

The Coyeux estate is renowned for the exceptional freshness of its Muscat. This unique character is linked to its rare terroir and meticulous winemaking process.
