Le Clos des Grives 2023 is the jewel of Domaine Combier — "the finest Syrah from Crozes-Hermitage," sourced from the vineyard’s oldest plot, planted in 1952.
The color is deep red with purplish highlights. The nose opens with blackberry, blackcurrant, and black cherry, accented by violet, black pepper, and fresh licorice. The palate is full-bodied and rich, with fine, silky tannins and a long, fresh, slightly salty finish. Serve at 17 °C; decant.
100% organic Syrah, old vines planted in 1952, on a clay-limestone plateau with rounded pebbles, Pont-de-l'Isère. Hand-harvested, fully destemmed; fermented for 25 days in stainless steel tanks; aged for 12 months in new oak barrels, followed by 12 months in bottle before release.
Aging potential: 10–15 years.
