WINE DESCRIPTION

The vineyards are known for their unique terroir, which is characterized by a mix of clay and limestone soils and a Mediterranean climate. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a rich and complex wine with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of vanilla. Le Vin de Plume is a full-bodied wine with a smooth and elegant finish, making it a perfect choice for special occasions or pairing with hearty meals.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Domaine du Somail Le Vin de Plume is an exquisite blend of Grenache Blanc, Ugni Blanc, and Vermentino that offers a nose of ripe melon, honey, and white flowers.On the palate, it is dry, crisp, and full-bodied with flavors of green apple, lemon zest, and minerality, lingering on the finish with a hint of herbs.

ORIGINS

Winery: Domaine du Somail

Region: Languedoc-Roussillon

Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking. The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.
