He founded the domaine in 1979 and was joined by his son Frédéric in 1996 on completion of his oenology studies. Today the estate covers 26 hectares, including a new plot of 2.5 hectares of the finest land in Rasteau – pure ‘Argile bleue’ with 60 year old vines. The yields at Soumade are low – around 40 hl\/ha for his Côtes du Rhône, 35 hl\/ha for the Villages and much less for his super cuvées. All the grapes are picked exclusively by hand. The blends are mainly Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, the proportions varying a little with each vintage. The grapes receive a cold maceration of around 4 days followed by a cuvaison of some 20 to 30 days depending on the cuvée at a temperature of 32°, coupled with a system of Burgundian pigeage inspired by Clos des Lambrays in Morey-Saint-Denis. The wine is then matured in cement tanks for one year before spending 6 months in a variety of oak: foudres, demi-muids and barriques. The wines are fined with egg whites but receive no filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csub\u003eCountry: France | Region: Rasteau, Rhone | Alcohol: TBC | Grapes: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre | Vegetarian | Vegan\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thorman Hunt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12874136322160,"sku":"11174","price":21.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0356\/6409\/files\/IMG_31792.jpg?v=1702157839"},{"product_id":"chateaugravillelacostegravesblanc75cl","title":"Chateau Graville Lacoste Graves Blanc 2023 75cl","description":"\u003ch4\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Bright, light and with a lovely delicate lemon and melon aroma.
