Domaine la Soumade Gigondas 2021

Domaine la Soumade Gigondas 2021 is a finely judged Southern Rhône red that brings together the power of Gigondas with the finesse of Frédéric Roméro’s hand. Made from 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah, and already praised with 93 points from Robert Parker, it shows how a single hectare in this prestigious appellation can produce something truly memorable. Aged for 18 months in demi-muids, it combines concentration, elegance, and a distinctly lifted style.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this 2021 vintage presents a deep, vibrant red core with youthful energy at the rim. The nose opens beautifully with dark plum, strawberry, raspberry, crushed stone, smoked nuts, liquorice, and wild herbs, evoking the sun-baked garrigue of southern France. On the palate, the wine is silky and composed rather than forceful, with a velvety texture that carries many of the aromatic notes through a long, polished finish. It feels impressively balanced and still very young, so while it is already enjoyable, it should gain even more nuance with a year or two of cellaring. Well-made and expressive, it has the structure to age gracefully.

Viininvalmistus
The fruit comes from a one-hectare plot in Gigondas, in the southern Rhône, where warm Mediterranean conditions and the region’s rocky soils help shape a wine of ripeness and freshness. The blend of Grenache and Syrah reflects both the generosity of the vintage and the structure needed for aging. After fermentation, the wine matured for 18 months in demi-muids of 600 liters, a choice that supports the fruit without overwhelming it with oak influence.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is a natural partner for roasted lamb, grilled duck, game birds, herb-crusted beef, or rich Mediterranean dishes such as ratatouille and slow-cooked vegetables with thyme and rosemary. Serve at around 16–18°C for the best expression of its aromatics and balance. Decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended if opening now, especially given its youthful structure.

Tuottaja
Domaine La Soumade is based in Rasteau in the southern Rhône and is closely associated with the thoughtful, precision-driven winemaking of Frédéric Roméro. While the domaine is best known for its work in Rasteau, its small holding in Gigondas allows it to craft wines with notable finesse and regional character. The 2021 Gigondas, backed by a strong critical score, highlights the producer’s reputation for making elegant, terroir-focused wines.
