Domaine des Bernadins – Muscat de Beaumes de Venise. Absolutely beautiful.
Wine is something that I don’t talk about a lot here in this space, and it’s not something that I have often anymore, but I still love it! It’s been on my mind lately, so I thought it was the perfect time to talk about my all-time favorite wine…ever. Muscat de Beaumes de Venise (blanc) by Domaine des Bernadins. According to their website, the aroma of the wine is more of a butterscotch with glazed fruits, depending on the year. Sometimes it’s baked fruits and tea, or maybe it has a hint of rose. Some people taste orange notes, some taste a mix of honey and fruit. I haven’t had this wine in a very long time, but I remember it vividly, it was just that delicious. The flavor is light, and has a lovely sweetness that keeps you going back for more, and then disappointed and upset when the bottle is empty and you don’t have a spare to open up!
The photo above is of the first bottle I ever had of this beautiful wine. It’s a 1995, it was given to me as a gift in 2000, and I didn’t open it until 2005. It’s a half bottle, which equates to around two glasses, and just…I loved it. It was the first “real” wine I’d ever had, and is still my favorite. There are a few places where you can buy it online in the United States (Timeless Wines, wine-searcher.com), but if you like sweet or semi-sweet wines, I would strongly recommend that you consider trying this particular Muscat de Beaumes de Venise. And if you do, please let me know how you like it!
