"It's wonderfully fruited and fragrant, showing dark plum, mulberry, warm spice and assorted nut characters on the nose. The palate offers excellent fruit intensity, well supported by velvety mouthfeel and fine tannins. Medium-full-bodied, flavoursome and highly appealing. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2020

Deep red with a purple hints in the glass. The vibrant nose bursts with black cherry, plum and liquorice as well as pepper notes and vanilla. The wine is concentrated and smooth on the palate with a lovely texture and a spicy toasty finish.

Produced by the highly acclaimed LGI wines, awarded Best French Still Wine Producer at Berliner Wein Trophy in 2017, 2018 and 2019! Originally the brainchild of Alain Grignon, who had a vision of making affordable, classic French wines designed specifically for the international market. Now under the supervision of oenologist Xavier Roger.

The Combe Rocher (literally ‘rocky valley’) range is one of pure authenticity crafted from carefully selected terroirs, situated on high altitude slopes, with rocky soils. The terroir effect is very noticeable in this region due to the great variety of winegrowing microclimates. Selected from rocky terroirs located between the Montagne Noire (Black Mountain range) over four departments along the Languedoc-Roussillon. This is a perfect location, with hot sunny days to fully ripen the grapes. Here, the northern mountains of the Pyrenees and the Cevennes embrace the vineyards of the Pays d’Oc like amphitheatre.

Fully ripe grapes are destemmed and divided into two parcels. A small part passes the process of thermovinification and maceration which enhances the aromatic profile of the Syrah. The majority of the grapes are fermented on their skins for about three weeks, extracting great character and richness. 30% of the wine stays in contact with French oak adding complexity and roundness of texture to the wine.

Food Pairing: Enjoy this wine at room temperature, with grilled meat dishes, rustic pasta, vegetable and bean stew, hard cheeses.
