The wine

A fresh, well-balanced, fruity delight. A surprising Cahors, works wonderfully as an aperitif wine. The “Pur Fruit du Causse” offers excellent value for money, and pairs extremely well with Iberian ham. Matured on its lees for 18 months in concrete vats, the wine is bottled quickly retain the fruity flavour.

About the Producer Château Combel La Serre

Julien Ilbert, owner of Château Combel La Serre, embodies a new generation of young winemakers in Cahors. Like many others, the domaine’s revival came in the form of its conversion to organic viticulture (certification was obtained in 2015). In the manner of traditional farming families, the property’s grapes would be sold to the cooperative along with other agricultural products. Only in 1998 did Julien and his father begin to bottle their wines themselves, and strangely enough, in Burgundy bottles! Although the Cahors appellation requires you to use only 70% Malbec, Julien Ilbert prefers to produce his wines exclusively using this characterful variety. A jewel of the South-West!
