A supple and charming Syrah from a pioneering organic vineyard that's been using these principles for more than 50 years. More info
Renowned for his delightful and charming Crozes-Hermitages, Laurent Combier offers a charming take on a Syrah from the IGP Collines Rhodaniennes with this cuvée. The young vines are planted on terraces which have a granite terroir and are organically grown, just like the rest of this 60 hectare domain, by this true pioneer of organic agriculture who coverted his vines in 1970.
This cuvée is naturally vinified and aged to perfection in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with a great amount of care being taken at every step. It has a wonderful nose that combines violets and red fruits, with a touch of white pepper. Fresh and delicious with a supple and fleshy texture, this cuvée offers all round finesse. A lovely wine to be enjoyed in its youth, that would pair well with a rabbit stew or beef wellington.
IGP Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah Combier serve at a temperature of 15°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Gibelotte de lapin, Bœuf Wellington, Feuilleté aux champignons.

This domaine was founded by Laurent Combier’s great grand father in 1936 and started out life as several hectares of vines (the grapes were sold every year to the local cooperative) and apricot trees. In 1989, Laurent’s parents ended the deal with the negociant and started looking after the 5 hectares themselves. Little by little they expanded the domaine to 15 hectares. Today it spans 25 hectares (mostly in Crozes but with a small amount in Saint-Joseph). Laurent’s arrival in 1990 marked a new chapter for the domaine. This oenology graduate constructed a new winery and made the domaine entirely independent (it was he who pushed for a break from the cooperative), introducing new methods such as the use of concrete vats and amphorae to give the wines a silkier texture. Today the wines have reached new heights. Organically produced and matured in a way that preserves the freshness and fruit, it’s difficult to find a better Crozes-Hermitage! Difficult, but not impossiblele as Laurent Combier has started working with the Spanish oenologue Veronica Ortega on some parcel selections in Crozes and Saint-Joseph. First results are very promising and these cuvées will be on the market soon.
