If you love pure, unadulterated, concentrated Syrah, look no further. The modern winery, built in 1990 is situated on the busy N7 between Tain l’Hermitage and Pont de l’Isère. It is here that Laurent Combier, a very practical, open minded winemaker produces his lush exuberant and rich style of wine. Farmed organically, his 13 hectares of vineyards are situated on the “Les Chassis” plateau.

So far ahead of the organics game was Laurent’s father Maurice, he gained the nickname of Maurice le Fou (Crazy Maurice) when he converted the family’s mixed fruit farm over 40 years ago. All that hard work has paid off for his son, and current generation winemaker Laurent Combier.

After a short hiatus away from the family farm studying oenology and working at some fancy wineries Laurent returned full of knowledge and gusto, and big decisions were made to pull their grapes from the local co-op and focus on Domaine Combier. Since those important years, Domaine Combier has grown quite a following for their organic, and more importantly, well made wines.

About Laurent Combier Wines

The history of Domaine Combier goes back up in 1936 when Camille Combier bought a property of 3 ha of vineyards. In 1952, the vineyard extends over 5 ha of whom a plot of land will be the Clos des Grives, in 1990. It is today, Laurent Combier who exploits the domain of 25 ha as an independent wine grower. Domaine Combier is situated at the heart of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. He also possesses 1 ha in Saint Joseph appellation. Wines of Domaine Combier develop a franchise and an elegance of the fruit, the aromas and the tannins.

Domaine Combier was a pioneer in organic farming in the Rhône Valley since Maurice Combier (Laurent’s father) converted all his crops into organic, following an allergy caused by a phytosanitary product. The Combier family therefore naturally turned to manual tillage of the soil, associated with the management of the lunar calendar, thus placing balance and precision at the heart of the life of the estate It is today, Laurent Combier who operates the Domaine Combier as an independent winemaker.

Domaine Laurent Combier presents three Crozes Hermitage: Cuvée L Laurent Combier, Cuvée Domaine and Crozes Hermitage Clos des grives, mineral and ample.
