Food Matching Note:
The Clos des Grives is an outstanding and impressive wine full of depth and power but with a subtlety that make it a wonderful match with food. Try with rich red meat dishes particularly steaks with heavy sauces and game dishes like venison and wild boar.
Tasting Note:
Clos de Grives is wonderfully vibrant in colour with a rich complex nose of chocolate and mocha underlaid by intense fruit character and a hint of tobacco. The tannins and the oak are wonderfully well integrated and the finish is a joy, a rare mixture of complexity, concentration and elegance.
Vinification Note:
Combier’s top cuvée is the outstanding Clos des Grives. The work in the vineyards is chemical free and organic. Produced from 100% Syrah hand picked from the Combiers oldest parcels of vines it undergoes a traditional vinification, with fermentation in inox vats and a long maceration of approximately 25 days. The wine is then aged in new oak barrique to add complexity and depth to an already outstanding product.
