Château de Valcombe - Graphite 2021

A red wine with a concentrated nose of black fruit, burlat cherry and mineral notes. This blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre is aged for 15 to 18 months in barrels for part of the blend, and in cement vats for the other part.

Château de Valcombe is the family property of Dominique and Bénédicte Ricome. They manage the 88 hectare estate with their sons, Basile and Nicolas. The vineyards are divided into Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault, Mourvèdre for the reds and Roussanne, Grenache blanc and Viognier for the whites. They are farmed organically since 2009.
