James Suckling
"The exuberance of Roussanne, tempered by the minerality of Marsanne".
"A medium-bodied white, juicy, lively and textured. Aromas of fresh lemon, wild herbs and blanched almonds. Round and luscious, with a floral touch on the mid-palate and a mellow finish." (James Suckling 2024). Ideal companion to blanquette, sea bream and shellfish...

Crozes Hermitage
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
One of the most regular estates in the Crozes appellation for over thirty years, where vines and apricots are grown with the same passion. Julien and David have joined their father Laurent. They farm 50 hectares of vines, mostly located on the rolled pebbles of the Châssis plain, as well as some granitic areas in the north of the appellation and a little in Saint Joseph. Clos-des-Grives, made from nine hectares of lovingly tended vines, has excelled over time in both colors.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
An engaging man, Laurent Combier has revealed the grandeur of the fine terroirs of Crozes-Hermitages, on the clay-limestone plateau with rolled pebbles of Pont-d'Isère. Vintage after vintage, he has constantly improved his wines in terms of finesse and definition, to the point where they can be compared, without blushing, to cuvées from much more prestigious terroirs. His Clos des Grives is one of the most seductive and profound Syrahs in the Rhône. Its ageing potential is remarkable in great vintages. Laurent now works with his sons Julien and David.

A medium-bodied, juicy, lively and textured white. Aromas of fresh lemon, wild herbs and blanched almonds. Round and delicious, with a floral touch on the mid-palate and a smooth finish. Enjoy or keep.
