"Elegance, roundness, and complexity are the hallmarks of white Crozes."

“The 2024 Crozes-Hermitage Cap Nord Blanc, a blend of 50% Marsanne and 50% Roussanne from a south-facing vineyard in Mercurol, reveals a fresh and elegant bouquet of white fruits with hints of menthol and anise. Medium- to full-bodied, it is both enveloping and crystalline, offering a complex profile—less opulent than the Domaine cuvée, yet with greater depth and better tension. This is a refined and precise interpretation.” (Wine Advocate 2026)

A bright, pale yellow color with green highlights

Nose

Crisp, with a focus on minerality; aromas of acacia blossoms, candied citron, citrus zest, nectarine, honeysuckle, linden, and white pepper; a subtle hint of honey and warm stone

Palate

Rich and complex, with a refined minerality derived from its sandy terroir and a vibrant freshness resulting from subtle aging, which allows the purity of each grape variety to fully express itself. A wine with character, both fresh and authentic.

Wine rated (2027 guide) 90/100

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 (2027 guide) 94/100

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 wine:

Cap Nord plays on the bitter notes and a lovely saltiness, full of energy and with superb balance.

About the estate:

A charming man, Laurent Combier has succeeded in revealing the greatness of the fine terroirs of Crozes-Hermitages, 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.
