"A classic wine that strikes the perfect balance between fruitiness, structure, and well-integrated tannins"

“The 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine Combier is straightforward and charming, with a ripe, structured, and complex profile featuring abundant darker, almost blue fruits, plenty of violet and floral notes, ripe tannins, and a broad, expansive, and well-developed palate. It has a bit more density and concentration than the fruitier Laurent Combier, and I think it will benefit from a year or three of bottle aging. This is clearly an exceptional wine in the making.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

Rated estate (2024 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

One of the most consistent estates in the Crozes appellation for over thirty years, where the vines and apricot trees are cultivated with equal passion. Julien and David have joined their father, Laurent. They cultivate 50 hectares of vineyards, mostly located on the rounded pebbles of the Plaine des Châssis, as well as a few granite-rich areas in the northern part of the appellation and a small portion in Saint-Joseph. The Clos-des-Grives, produced from nine hectares of lovingly tended vines, has consistently excelled over time in both red and white wines.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 91/100

About the wine:

Menthol on the nose, with a hint of cola and some herbal notes as well. The acidity is remarkably lively given the fruit’s maturity; the tannins are quite robust but should mellow after a year or two. Smooth and succulent.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 91/100

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

A charming man, Laurent Combier has succeeded in revealing the greatness of the fine terroirs of Crozes-Hermitage, on the clay-limestone plateau with rounded pebbles of Pont-d’Isère. Vintage after vintage, he has continually refined his wines in terms of finesse and definition, to the point where they can stand proudly alongside wines from far more prestigious terroirs. His Clos des Grives ranks among the most alluring and complex Syrahs of the Rhône. Its aging potential is remarkable in great vintages. Laurent now works alongside his sons, Julien and David.

Rated winery (2023 guide) Recommended

About the wine:

A velvety, balanced, and pure Crozes-Hermitage. It features notes of black cherry, violet, and fresh black pepper. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. It is crisp, transparent, and full-bodied. Crushed black cherry is accompanied by a hint of pepper that adds freshness throughout the finish. Enjoy now or celller.
