Cave de Beaumes-de-Venise: Muscat VDN evening ★ 4.4
The Cave de Beaumes-de-Venise co-operative is the primary source for Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise VDN, one of France's oldest and most aromatic fortified wines. The co-operative offers evening tastings (until 19:30) where the Muscat is poured alongside the dry Beaumes-de-Venise rouge. The aromatic intensity of fresh Muscat VDN is one of the great fortified experiences of the south.
The list: Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise VDN by the glass; also Beaumes-de-Venise rouge AOC; cellar-door evening tastings
Tip: The Muscat VDN is best paired with light blue cheese (Roquefort or Fourme d'Ambert) or foie gras. Buy a case direct from the co-operative for one of the best-value VDN wines in France.
