Crozes Hermitage of remarkable purity from Domaine Combier, weaving dark berries, violet and fine pepper with an ample, velvety palate of profound elegance.
Crozes Hermitage Clos des Grives 2023 Domaine Combier
An iconic reference of the appellation, the Clos des Grives 2023 exemplifies the mastery of Domaine Combier, a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in Crozes-Hermitage. From a single parcel of rolled stones and red clay in the heart of Pont-de-l'Isère, this wine reflects a warm terroir tempered by precise vineyard management and measured yields. The winemaking, of considerable refinement, favours gentle extraction and perfectly integrated ageing, bringing depth and elegance without harshness.
The nose seduces with brilliant Syrah, fresh blackberry, violet, black pepper, black olives and a subtle smoky touch. On the palate, the 2023 proves both dense and fluid, endowed with velvety texture and chiselled tannins. The vintage, sunny yet well-balanced, offers perfect ripeness without excess, yielding an ample, precise wine of remarkable digestibility. The long, peppery finish unfolds over mineral structure and freshness that marks the finest cuvées of the domaine.
Food and cellaring, superb with pink roasted lamb, roasted poultry, Mediterranean cuisine or mature cheese. Drinking potential of 10 to 15 years, gaining in complexity towards notes of truffle, fine leather and preserved dark berries.
