Cuvee Prestige

Rasteau 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre

Domaine La Soumade Cuvee Prestige is an exceptional red blend from the esteemed Rasteau region, a jewel of the southern Rhône Valley. Composed of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre, this wine is a radiant expression of the area's bold and intricate terroir. The wine greets you with complex aromas of dark fruit, such as blackcurrants and ripe plums, seamlessly mingling with earthy notes of tobacco and spicy black pepper. On the palate, the Grenache lends a generous full body and warmth, while the Syrah adds structure and depth, and the Mourvedre brings a hint of rustic elegance. The acidity is lively, providing a refreshing balance to the wine’s rich fruit intensity, and the tannins are firmly structured yet polished, promising excellent aging potential. With its harmonious blend of flavors and textures, Domaine La Soumade Cuvee Prestige distinctly showcases the robust yet refined character for which Rasteau is celebrated. Highly regarded for its food-friendly nature, this wine pairs impeccably with hearty dishes like grilled meats and aged cheeses, making every dining experience a memorable one.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
