Domaine Combier wines offer a vibrant expression of Syrah, particularly in their Crozes-Hermitage. They feature fresh, fruity substance, present yet elegant tannins, and a beautiful overall balance. The Clos des Grives often stands out for its depth and aging potential. The aromatic profile is typical of the appellation, with spicy and floral notes.
Domaine Combier, firmly anchored on the plateau of Pont-d'Isère, is intimately linked to the personality of Laurent Combier. The history of this estate is one of metamorphosis, a revelation of the potential of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation.
The estate extends over a clay-limestone terroir where rounded pebbles bear witness to the passage of the Rhône. Although these lands were not always considered the most favored in the appellation, the work of the Combier family has revealed their full richness. The estate was a pioneer in adopting organic farming as early as 1970. This approach, respectful of the environment and based on an in-depth knowledge of the vineyard, has made it possible to produce Syrah-based red wines of great finesse. The Crozes-Hermitage Clos des Grives has thus become a benchmark, a particularly seductive expression of this grape variety in the region. The quality of Domaine Combier's wines is found today throughout its entire production, including the white wines and entry-level cuvées, marketed under the name Laurent Combier.
