Olivier Faucon founded Mas Combarèla which is located in Saint-Jean-de-Fos just a few kilometres north-west of Montpellier in 2016. The vineyard covers 11 hectares that are found in both AOC Terrasses du Larzac and IGP Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert. There, the viticulture respects the environment (certified organic), and yields are controlled.
In the cellar, vinification is gentle with the aim of creating wines that reveal the finesse of the local varieties and terroirs. The domain crafts rosés, whites and reds from several varieties which include Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Carignan, Syrah, Grenache Blanc, Carignan Blanc and Vermentino. The wines are striking due to their intensity, light profile and saline notes with the red wines possessing silky tannins.
Since its very beginning, Mas Combarèla has been a favourite of the critics (Jancis Robinson, La Revue du Vin de France, Guide Hachette, Bettane+Desseauve) thanks to the regularity of its wines vintage after vintage. It’s also a firm favourite of the iDealwine team!
