André Roméro, the tutelary figure of the Rasteau appellation, has taken the Soumade estate to the top of the Rhône Valley winemaking world. Today it is his son Frédéric, advised by Stéphane Derenoncourt, who takes over these colorful and complex wines, of a density and aromatic complexity that beautifully reflects all the facets of his terroir.


These broad-shouldered, concentrated, rich wines with ripe fruit aromas are unrivaled in their appellation. It is a unique style in the Rhone Valley that we are honored to stand behind!
