    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Domaine Combier is characterized by a deep respect for the fruit and the terroir. The harvest is done by hand, allowing for the selection of the best grapes. After careful destemming, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the aromas. Aging occurs in oak barrels, some of which are new, to impart a subtle oaky touch without masking the wine's personality. Clos The 2023 des Grives is then bottled unfiltered to preserve its full richness. This artisanal method allows the terroir's identity to be fully expressed. Crozes-Hermitage.
