Combrillac

On the menu? A sample created by the Domaine Château Combrillac team, with Florent Girou and Uyen Thien Do at the forefront.
Located in the Périgord region adischatzThe vineyard overlooks the ancestral and grandiose Dordogne valley. Château Combrillac covers 25 hectares, 12 of which are vineyards. A space that seems to work the winegrowers as much as they work it, putting permaculture into practice in a holistic perspective integrating Earth, Humanity and the times to come. Their recipe in two words: experimental and lively. 

In order of color, we start with a Petchalba composed of Sauvignon (50%), Sémillon (40%) and Cabernet-Sauvignon (10%). This dry white, based on the 2020 vintage, bears a Macedonian name that echoes the story of Florent Girou. He, too, has traveled the world, like the young Macedonians who left after their wedding to experience new things and return "happily home, serene and fulfilled" to which the word refers.

Inter-dressing enthusiasts will be delighted to dip their lips in Houtsiplou (60% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet-Franc). This product is vinified over a six-month ageing period on total lees in barrels. "In this lost village à l'écart of the crowd, on écoute s'il pleut dès the first whistles of the wind. Été like winter, if the sky sprinkles égaréFor those in the know, the sun shines brightly. Leave theée board this îlot à against the current!" You're invited to join Noémie Malaize, who has illustrated the labels of several bottles.
