Domaine la Soumade Rasteau Cuvée Fleur de Confiance 2019 OWC

Domaine la Soumade’s Rasteau Cuvée Fleur de Confiance 2019 is a richly expressive Rhône red built almost entirely on old-vine Grenache, with a careful touch of Syrah for added depth and structure. From low-yielding, mature vines and crafted with a patience that shows in the glass, it captures both the generosity of Rasteau and the finesse of a serious, age-worthy wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a dark black-purple colour that hints at its concentration. The nose is layered and inviting, with blackberry, red currant, blackcurrant, leather, licorice, spice, and a cool herbal note of mint. The palate is full of ripe blackcurrant, black tea, dark chocolate, and a subtle edge of fresh tobacco on the long, silky finish. Despite its power, the wine remains balanced and polished, with the structure and depth to age beautifully for at least another 10 years.

Production
This cuvée comes from old, twisted Grenache vines, some up to 100 years old, growing on low-yielding parcels in Rasteau where production is kept extremely limited at around 15–18 hectolitres per hectare. Winemaker Frédéric Roméro adds about 10% Syrah, then the wine is aged for 18 months on its lees in 600-litre demi-muids, lightly filtered, and further matured in bottle before release.

Food & Serving
This is a natural match for richly flavoured dishes such as roasted lamb, duck, beef stew, game, or herb-crusted grilled meats. Serve at around 16–18°C and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young, to let the aromatics fully open and the texture become even more supple.
