"A real pleasure cuvée, with powerful red and black fruit flavours, yet generous and full-bodied!"

The Cuvée Château seduces with its fruity intensity and generosity. The density of the Malbec grape, combined with a beautiful tension, brings immediate pleasure to the palate. Excellent value for money for this appellation!

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (guide 2025) 92/100 (Vintage 2020)

Domaine rated (guide 2026) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

When Jean-Pierre Ilbert left the Cave Coopérative in 1998, he created Château Combel La Serre. To promote it, the family travelled all over France. The turning point came in 2011 when his son Julien and his wife Sophie decided to go organic (certification obtained in 2013). Together, they gave the 26-hectare estate a major facelift. As in Burgundy, the focus is on plot selection, highlighting the different terroirs in which they believe so strongly, and creating stylish cuvées with modern labels. The grape varieties are traditional for the reds, more atypical for the whites, with vermentino and albarino, which they are particularly fond of. The style of the wines is precise, close to the fruit, and expressive of the terroir. This close-knit couple devote their ambition and enthusiasm to their wines.

About the domain :

ulien Ilbert and his wife Sophie are responsible for the destiny of this vineyard, which has been in existence since 1900. Breaking away from his father's model, Julien has taken the bottling turn; he has gone in search of a new identity, putting eloquent, modern labels on his various bottles. Every year, his cuvées grow in stature. He makes the most of the 23 hectares planted with auxerrois, the local name for malbec, and vermentinos and albarinos, southern grapes that find the right base and climate here. Alongside the Le Lac aux Cochons (iron-rich limestone soil), Au Cerisier (red clay) and Les Peyres Levades (limestone) parcels, he has added a number of new wines to the range, signalling the formidable evolution of Cahors vineyards.
