Domaine de Fenouillet Beaumes de Venise Rouge 'Cuvee Yvon Soard' 2020
A limited production wine produced in the best vintages in honor of the father of Patrick and Vincent Soard. This wine is sourced from the oldest vines of the domaine (80 years old) from a hillside “combe” in the shadow of the Dentelles de Montmirail and just over the hill from Gigondas. The vineyard is a mix of clay and limestone and harvest levels are low, usually reaching at most 35 hectoliters per hectare. The wine is aged in cement cuves for two years before being bottled unfiltered. The final grape blend is usually: 50% Syrah, 35% Grenache and 15% mourvèdre.
