ROTEM & MOUNIR SAOUMA - Côtes-du-Rhône Inopia 2017

Rotem Et Mounir Saouma

The Domaine Rotem and Mounir Saouma is a unique winery located in the Rhône region of France. This estate is the work of Mounir Saouma, a talented Lebanese-born winemaker, and his partner Rotem, who founded the domaine with a clear vision: to produce high-quality, innovative wines that are in full harmony with their terroir.

The estate is situated on the lands of prestigious appellations such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a terroir known for its varied soils and Mediterranean climate. The vines are cultivated in carefully selected parcels, with a focus on sustainable viticulture methods. Mounir Saouma is a strong advocate of biodynamic farming and applies environmentally respectful principles throughout the production process. Manual harvesting ensures optimal grape quality, which is then meticulously sorted before winemaking.

The wines from Domaine Rotem and Mounir Saouma are exceptional expressions of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroir. The red wines, mainly based on Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, display complex aromas of dark fruits, spices, and licorice, with subtle garrigue notes. On the palate, they are powerful, rich, and velvety, with fine tannins and exceptional length. The whites, made from varieties such as Clairette, Grenache Blanc, and Roussanne, are fresh and mineral, with beautiful roundness and aromas of citrus and white flowers.

Domaine Rotem and Mounir Saouma is ideal for lovers of powerful yet balanced wines with great ageing potential, representing the craftsmanship and uniqueness of an exceptional terroir.
