Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

In the glass, notes of tropical banana and pineapple engage your senses. This is a rich, powerful wine loaded with fruit and balanced with creamy oak and crisp mineral notes on the finish.

Pair with baked chicken or seafood.

Mas de Bressades

View all products

Mas de Bressades is regarded as one of the finest domaines of Costieres de Nimes, and Cyril Mares one of the appelation's most talented producers. The Estate consists of 40 hectares of vineyards, all of which are farmed sustainably. The soils are rich in red clay and limestone galets roules, which provides a layer of insulation in times of extreme weather.

Rhône White Blends

View all products

Full-bodied and flavorful, white Rhône blends originate from France’s Rhône Valley. Today these blends are also becoming popular in other regions. Typically some combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier form the basis of a white Rhône blend with varying degrees of flexibility depending on the exact appellation. Somm Secret—In the Northern Rhône, blends of Marsanne and Roussanne are common but the south retains more variety. Marsanne, Roussanne as well as Bourboulenc, Clairette, Picpoul and Ugni Blanc are typical.

Costieres de Nimes Wine

Rhone, France

View all products

Gently rolling hills covered by large, round stones on south-facing slopes, Costieres de Nimes is a substantial IGP zone that was formerly considered part of the Languedoc. Today it is included as a section of the southern Rhone; its climate, topography and wines put it more in line with that appellation. Grenache is its most important red variety, along with Mourvedre, Syrah and Carignan. Half of the production here is rosé.
