WINE DESCRIPTION
Combier Clos des Grives Crozes-Hermitage Rouge is a premium red wine produced by the renowned winemaker, Combier. The wine comes from the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, which is known for producing some of the finest wines in the Rhône Valley. The vineyard features steep slopes and granite soils, which impart unique flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with rich flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. It has a long, smooth finish and is perfect for pairing with hearty meat dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine offers a complex and approachable nose, with a blend of dark fruits and earthy spices.On the palate, the tannins are firm but silky, providing a solid structure to the dark fruit flavors. Rich and full-bodied, with a long finish, this is a well-balanced Crozes-Hermitage that will pair nicely with roasted meats and vegetables.

ORIGINS
Winery: Combier
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
