Domaine Combier
For over thirty-five years, the vineyards of the Domaine Combier have been farmed organically. When Laurent Combier took over from his father, the Crozes-Hermitage appellation was relatively unknown with a mixed reputation. Learning how to maximize ripeness in the impeccably farmed vineyards and modernizing the winery were his first concern. The sandy, gravelly soil provides a perfect home for the old Syrah vines (some of which are nearly a century-old), and Laurent has been proving the worth of the appellation by producing subtle, polished wines unusual for a region dominated by co-operatives and négociants trading on the "Hermitage" name. |
