Domaine du Rocher des Dames

Le Rocher des Dames

A 10-hectare family estate in Beaumes de Venise, at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, run by the Bernard family for five generations. Under sustainable viticulture, two emblematic cuvees: a powerful Beaumes de Venise Rouge and the Muscat, the estate's white gold.

A family estate rooted in tradition. Nestled at the heart of Beaumes de Venise, at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, Le Rocher des Dames is the fruit of five generations of passionate winegrowers: the Bernard family. For over a century, this family has cultivated the vine with the same credo: respect the land, listen to nature and let the terroir speak for itself.

Beaumes de Venise Rouge

AOC Beaumes de Venise - red

Rich, structured and deep, it expresses the force of the southern terroir: a colour with violet glints, a nose of black fruits, sweet spices and dried fruits, an ample, velvety palate with a liquorice finish. An ageworthy wine with slow-cooked dishes, grilled meats and mature cheeses.

Muscat de Beaumes de Venise

AOC Muscat de Beaumes de Venise - naturally sweet wine

The estate's white gold: a naturally sweet wine with a pale-gold colour, on lychee, mango, vine peach and acacia flower. Fine, fresh and without heaviness, it elevates foie gras, fruity desserts and moments of relaxation. To serve well chilled.
