Domaine Beau Mistral
About the Wine
The Beau Mistral estate is located at the foot of the village of Rasteau and has 28 hectares of vines where Jean-Marc Brun works to preserve the elements that contribute to the great aromatic richness of the Rasteau wines, between character and elegance: a Mediterranean climate, varied soils and emblematic grape varieties of the Rhone Valley such as (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre). The vineyard, composed of several plots of old vines, some of which are between 60 and 90 years old, clings to the hillsides. The vineyard is managed with respect for the terroir and the environment. The blend includes Grenache (50%), Syrah (45%), and Mourvèdre (5%).
