SomMailier.com is a wine club which brings you boutique wines from France that you won’t find in supermarkets – authentic, delicious and unique.
Wine has been called “artwork you can drink” and when it comes to the French wines chosen by Laurent Yung of SomMailier.com you’ll discover exactly what that means. Using his knowledge and savoir-faire born of five generations of wine makers in France, Laurent and his family’s talent for seeking out unique and delectable wines is what makes this wine club different.
How to choose the best French Wines
The SomMailier team focus on discovering and meeting small wine producing companies, tasting their wines and picking the best of them to make available to SomMailer.com members. These wines are also provided to some of the most legendary outlets in Paris including Fouquets and luxury hotels who want something special for their guests. With more than 27,000 vineyards spread over 11 major wine regions, over 200 wine varieties and 307 wine designations – finding the bottles that will make you go wow when you sip a fresh white, a robust red, the most delicious rosé, is a skill that is developed over years and years, handed down through generations.
“Terroir is critical” says Laurent. “What does terroir mean? You could say it’s a sense of the place where the grapes are grown that give a taste to the wine. In tangible terms, it’s climate, soil conditions and terrain. In wine regions like Burgundy and Bordeaux where there is huge variety in terms of landscapes and soils, individual vineyards can have their own unique terroir – that’s completely different from the vineyard next door!”
But when it comes to French wines, there’s much more to consider, especially, as Laurent calls it: the human factor such as passion for making wine, and traditions – both old and new. For instance “in Burgundy winemakers prefer to use stainless steel tanks instead of oak barrels to avoid overwhelming the wine with oaky, vanilla bomb flavors. Interestingly, winemakers all over the world have started adopting this approach, and now it is becoming part of the “terroir” in other regions as well”.
