"A Great Crozes

« Un rouge velouté, rond, juteux et généreusement fruité. Le nez est marqué par la cerise noire, la prune noire et les épices douces. Il est moyennement corsé avec des tannins crémeux. Rond et soyeux, avec du volume en bouche et un fruité généreux en finale. » (James Suckling 2024) • Quantités limitées

Expert opinion

Graded area (2024 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard 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.

Vin noté (guide 2023) 93/100

About the wine :

Dark fruit, full of blackberry and blackcurrant. Full-bodied, with a powerful, straight and rigid tannic structure, accentuated by firm acidity rays. The tannin texture is quite severe and the finish is long. One of this year's most serious, powerful and austere Crozes, which will take time to assert itself.

Graded area (2024 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning connoisseurs.)

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.

About the wine :

An inviting, mysterious nose of lavender, herbs, garrigue and violets. The palate is rich and dense, with wonderfully defined tannins. The tannins are very well integrated and the acidity is soft and fresh. Well-managed extraction and fresh fruit throughout. The finish is long, broad and chiseled.

Rated domain (2023 guide) Recommended

About the wine :

A velvety, round, juicy and generously fruity red. The nose is marked by black cherry, black plum and sweet spices. Medium-bodied, with creamy tannins. Round and silky, with volume on the palate and generous fruitiness on the finish. For drinking or cellaring.
