The real jewel of Domaine de Coyeux, the Muscat de Beaumes de Venise is produced on various contiguous plots, grouped together on 42 hectares. The production is in the range of 25 hl/hectare and some of the oldest vines have reached the 65 year old mark. Each year the Domaine of Coyeux produces approximately 1400.000 bottles of sweet Muscat wine.
