Fortified sweet
Domaine Ampelhus Muscat de Lunel honors the deep traditions of the Languedoc region. It originates from one of the oldest French appellations—the village of Lunel, which has been renowned for its unique terroir since the Middle Ages. Today, "Ampelhus" is an estate managed by Lithuanian-born Ženia and Frenchman Thibauld, earning recognition for their natural winemaking and respect for nature.
The wine’s aromas open with vibrant notes of jasmine blossoms, ripe passion fruit, and honey. On the palate, the wine is full of velvety sweetness, accompanied by crisp acidity and the flavor of fresh citrus zest.
This Muscat de Lunel is crafted exclusively from the noble 'Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains' grapes. Its complexity is derived from the unique soil—rounded Rhône River stones—which absorb the sun's heat and transfer it to the grapes. It is the natural grape sugar and masterfully halted fermentation that ensure the pure and recognizable "Ampelhus" style.
The wine is produced using the natural sweet wine (Vin Doux Naturel) method, preserving maximum fruitiness and elegance.
Serve at 8-10 °C with fruit salad, white chocolate desserts.
