Beaujolais Domaine des Combiers

Domaine des Combiers is a family estate that has been handed down for several generations and is currently under the guidance of winegrower, Laurent Savoye.

Vineyards and vinification

The estate is comprised of 9 hectares of vines spread over four appellations: Beaujolais, Beaujolais Villages, Fleurie and Mâcon. Fleurie consists of 1.8 of their hectares, here the granite takes on a particularly pink hue. Laurent produces two different Fleuries, one of which, the Montgenas, spends some time in older oak barrels which allows it to round out and soften.

The vineyard is located in the hills on granitic soil for the Beaujolais wines and clayey-silty for their white wines. Everything is done as sustainably as possible to respect the environment; they do not use chemical fertilizers but continue the tradition of their ancestors who used only animal manure and the grapes are harvested by hand and vinified and bottled on site.

Wines

Domaine des Combiers produce white wines with Chardonnay grape and red and rosés with Black Gamay with white juice. The magic of Beaujolais comes from the granite soils, remnants of a long dead volcano, which push Gamay to its best expression, giving the wines mouth-watering minerality.
