Fermented with whole clusters in cement and steel tanks, ‘Cuvée Château’ combines a lovely herbal-garrigue character with thirst-quenching black fruit.
Best with food, but still leaves you refreshed.
For generations Jean-Pierre Ilbert’s family sold grapes to the local co-operative until he combined their vineyard holdings and established Combel-La-Serre in the tiny Cahors village of Cournou. In 2005, Jean-Pierre’s son Julien – having studied in Saint-Emilion – took over, first converting the estate to organics and later biodynamics.
Medium body, serve at room temp or just below. Great with a casserole
