But this is Grenache territory, and Beaumes-de-Venise also produces delicious reds from these gentle, sunbaked slopes covered with garrigue. Although the town enjoys cru status in the same way as Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas, its red wines are generally softer and more approachable in their youth, with surprising aging potential thanks to the significantly concentrated fruit and structure. Priced far below its prestigious neighbors, Beaumes-de-Venise also represents a fabulous value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Domaine de Durban, an ancient farm now run by the Leydier family, Grenache is joined by Syrah and a drop of Mourvèdre to create this delightful everyday red scented of herbs de Provence and ripe black cherry. Durban’s specialty is their ability year in and year out to make reds that are dense, full, rustic, and incredibly drinkable all at once. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eHailing from a reputable estate known for holding the highest vineyards in the area, offering a \"cru\" level of quality at an accessible price point, often described as having a firm calcareous backbone with fresh, vibrant fruit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull-bodied dry red; concentrated and structured with dark fruit, garrigue character, and pepper; firm but integrated tannins; the high-altitude position and Triassic limestone add freshness that keeps the wine lively despite the warm appellation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KERMIT LYNCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47221195407666,"sku":"510000000007442","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/DomainedeDurbanRougeBeaumes-de-Venise.png?v=1777489797","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/2024-domaine-de-durban-beaumes-de-venise-rouge","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
