RHÔNE VALLEY NOUVELLES

DE BOISSET
FALL 2021

NEW
Grand Cardinal Beaumes-de-Venise

“One wine, one story.” Such is the credo of this venerable winehouse
which offers a range of 14 appellations from the southern Rhône Valley.

Each wine is linked to a chapter in the
history of the Chartreuse de Bonpas, an
historic monument dating back to 1318.
The name of Grand Cardinal Beaumes-de-
Venise Côtes du Rhône is an invitation to
travel in three stages.
Firstly, through history, with a cardinal
red robe that recalls the ecclesiastical
past of Bonpas when the Popes resided
in Avignon*. Then, it’s a sensory journey,
when red berries and white pepper mingle
on the palate to transport one from Les
Dentelles de Montmirail to the nearby
garrigue. And lastly, it’s a trip for the
taste buds when the wine is partnered
with Mediterranean delights such as a
Provençal daube stew, or a lamb tagine,
or even dishes from farther afield such
as that Milan classic osso bucco, kebabs,
or mature cheeses.

NEW AND MORE ECOLOGICAL
A lighter engraved bottle

At 410g, these engraved screw-top bottles are 150g
lighter than before, with no discernable impact on
their aesthetics inspired by the official seal*.
In addition, this weight saving means a big reduction in terms of carbon footprint
with a saving of an average of 75 tons in weight transported over one year.
This is a significant innovation which, for the moment, concerns three flagship
cuvées on the Canadian market, namely Ventoux Grande Réserve des Challières,
Luberon Grande Réserve des Challières, and Côtes du Rhône Réserve de Bonpas.
*The official seal bearing the arms of the Charterhouse of Bonpas appears in archive documents
dating back to 1320.
