BEAUMES DE VENISE - TERRISSIMO - LES VIGNERONS DE SAINT MARC - CANTEPERDRIX

Beaumes de Venise appellation is better known for the famous sweet wines of Muscat de Beaumes de Venise. But this Rhône Valley appellation also produces some very interesting red wines.

Coming from a warm climate protected from the Mistral by the Dentelles-de-Montmirail, the wine is rather full-bodied and capable of ageing from five to fifteen years depending on the vintage.

These Rhône wines go very well with white meats in sauce.

With Terrissimo, Gigondas Lacave offers us a cuvée which is terribly irresistible for its excellent value for money. The domaine raises the flag of the appellation high!

A fruit bomb that made our wine experts melt in a blind tasting: a real lightning strike! This is a powerful and fruity wine that remains smooth despite its 14.5° alcohol content.

Mainly made from Grenache and Syrah, this cuvée adds Mourvèdre and Cinsault to the blend. The Mourvèdre gives the wine its beautiful ruby colour and a more marked, powerful character. The Cinsault balances it out with suppleness. 

The nose is delighted by notes of pink berries, thyme and a touch of blackcurrant. Warm notes that are confirmed on the palate with a lot of freshness and suppleness.

The result is a light and fruity red wine that knows how to balance power and suppleness. A balance that easily supports spiced dishes such as our recipe for caramelised rabbit.

This wine is structured for syrupy sauces. Perfect with the white meat we chose! The sweetness and savouriness enhances the intense fruit flavours. 

We bet you'll fall for this cuvée, which offers great value for money. The final word: a terribly sublime Terrissimo!
