Made from Grenache with a supporting dose of Syrah, it comes from young vines and delivers a vivid, characterful expression of the southern Rhône.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a clear ruby-red color. The nose is inviting and layered, with red and dark fruit, violets, liquorice, smoke, and a subtle tar-like edge.\n\nOn the palate, juicy cranberry, strawberry, and blackberry lead the way, followed by notes of white pepper, clove, and a hint of vanilla. It is already very approachable now, but it should continue to drink beautifully for the next 4–5 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from younger vines, up to around 10 years old, rooted in limestone- and clay-rich soils. The wine is made in a traditional style in open vats, then aged for 18 months in stainless steel tank, with a very light filtration before bottling to preserve freshness and detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a versatile food wine that works especially well with grilled lamb, roast chicken, sausages, Provençal vegetables, and dishes with herbs and spices. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if you want to soften the edges and open up the aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine la Soumade is a respected name in the Rhône, known for producing wines with excellent value and strong regional character.
