Crozes-Hermitage blanc Clos des Grives 2023, ample and sun-filled, unfolding white peach, fine honey and acacia flowers, carried by a silky palate and perfectly controlled tension. A refined and profound white wine.
Crozes-Hermitage blanc Clos des Grives 2023 Domaine Combier
The Clos des Grives blanc 2023 stands as one of the great wines from Domaine Combier, a rare expression of Marsanne on the rolled pebbles and clays of the appellation's northern reaches. The domaine, a pioneer of organic viticulture since the 1970s, delivers here a white of high purity, in a contemporary style that is precise and deeply rooted in terroir, sought after by enthusiasts for its ageing potential and singular texture.
The terroir of Clos des Grives, better known for its red wine, nonetheless offers Marsanne an ideal setting: warm, well-draining soils and luminous exposure tempered by morning freshness, allowing complete maturity without heaviness. The winemaking, executed with great skill, favours fermentations and ageing in barrels and demi-muids perfectly integrated, bringing volume without masking aromatic finesse.
The 2023 presents a crystalline and ample profile. The nose mingles white flowers, pear, light honey, fresh almond and a whisper of fine herbs. The palate unfolds a silky texture, almost glycerous, balanced by a saline thread and mineral tension that extends the finish. The vintage, sun-filled yet harmonious, brings remarkable density without surrendering elegance.
Ready now for its subtle richness, Clos des Grives blanc 2023 will gain further complexity with 8 to 12 years of ageing, evolving towards notes of wax, dried fruits and warm stone. A great white from the northern Rhône, gastronomic in character, perfect with noble fish, roast poultry, mushroom risotto or matured cheeses.
