WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Lombard Brézème Côtes du Rhône Grand Chêne is a biodynamic and organic wine that showcases the best of the Rhône Valley’s rich terroir. Crafted from 100% Syrah vines aged 15 to 20 years, this wine comes from vineyards planted on rolled pebbles and limestone marl soils, which provide a distinct minerality. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and incorporates about 20% whole clusters, allowing for a natural, expressive fermentation process. Aged for over 12 months in a combination of concrete tanks and used barrels, it maintains an elegant, refined character with minimal intervention. The result is a wine that is pure, balanced, and deeply rooted in its terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Domaine Lombard Brézème Côtes du Rhône Grand Chêne offers a rich, layered profile with deep, dark fruit flavors like blackberry and plum, complemented by earthy undertones and hints of pepper and violet.The mineral influence from the limestone soils adds elegance, while firm tannins and a vibrant acidity bring balance and length to the finish. This Syrah pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes such as grilled lamb, beef stew, or roast duck. It also complements earthy mushroom risottos, aged cheeses, and charcuterie boards, making it an ideal choice for robust, flavorful meals and gatherings.

ORIGINS
Winery: Lombard
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
