<Wine from the Famous Winemaker Designed Concrete Egg Vat>
Michel Chapoutier is the most well-known winemaker in Rhone Valley. (In the past, Robert Parker has awarded 7of his wines 100-points scores) This type of organic wine was fermented in the concrete egg vats designed by Michel Chapourtier and French wine tank producer Marc Nomblot instead of the traditional oak barrels; the new method helps the wine to preserve aromatic, tame tannin and creates more diversity.
Background of the Winery
The Combier family’s Rhone Valley domaine dated back to 1936. The current generation of the family, Laurent Combier, is a hard-working and open-minded winemaker, and the wine he made from the Syrah grapes are full of vitality and elegance.
He strives to bring out the most natural flavor in the wine he makes. Since the 1970s, organic farming has been applied in the vineyards and no pesticide or artificial fertilizers are used, that made them the pioneer in the whole Crozes-Hermitage. Among them,Glos des Grives is the top red wine in the Combier family and it is also the masterpiece in the region.
