A juicy and digestible Syrah with violet, dark fruit and sweet spice notes, lifted by northern freshness. An elegant, vibrant Crozes, precise and full of character.
Crozes Hermitage Cap Nord 2023 Domaine Combier
The Crozes Hermitage Cap Nord 2023 perfectly embodies Combier's signature: a pure, sculpted and luminous northern Syrah, sourced from the cooler terroirs of the appellation's north. Laurent Combier continues his demanding approach, rooted in pioneering organic viticulture in the region, restrained yields and an unceasing search for balance. The granitic soils here express Syrah in an elegant and strikingly contemporary way, privileging aromatic finesse over demonstrative power.
The 2023 vintage brings perfectly measured maturity: the nose opens onto violet, fresh blackberry, white pepper and a touch of liquorice. The palate is straight and precise, with remarkable drinkability, built on a fine tannin structure and mineral energy that extends the finish. The Cap Nord style remains true to its reputation: a high-altitude Crozes, vibrant and elegant, ideal for those seeking a more ethereal expression of Rhône Syrah.
Food pairing and ageing: splendid with roasted poultry, grilled veal chop or spiced vegetable dishes. The wine will express itself beautifully now after aeration, but will evolve gracefully over 5 to 7 years.
