The Leydiers at Domaine de Durban are particularly proud of their Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise, a vin doux naturel, as they are among the last to craft it in the traditional style. The old-fashioned vinification keeps the spirits as low as possible, so that they may hold on to the bright freshness in the grapes.
A deep gold color, the wine is thick on the palate and loaded with flavors of dried apricot, peach, cooked pear, papaya and crystallized sugar. The acids keep it from becoming too cloying.
Astonishingly fresh with intense yet delicate notes of melon, honey and well-spiced ripe grapefruit.
