In a few words ...
Julien illbert and his wife sophie are leading the new destiny of this vineyard, which has been in existence since 1900. Breaking away from his father's model, julien has taken the bottling turn; he set out to find a new identity for this estate, putting eloquent, modern labels on his various cuvées. His cuvées, once immediate and fruity, are becoming more and more substantial. He makes the most of the 21 hectares planted with auxerrois, the local name for malbec, and the single hectare of vermentino, a southern grape that finds a fitting home here. He has isolated three terroirs: lac aux cochons, with its iron-rich limestone soil; au cerisier, on red clay; and, above all, peyres levades, a limestone terroir that stands out year after year. Domaine combel la serre's cuvée le lac aux cochons comes from a single parcel of Malbec vines (60 years old) located at an altitude of 350 m on the causse, in a place called rassiels. This parcel features a beautiful pocket of red ferruginous clay on a limestone bedrock. Wild boar love this plot, which is isolated from dwellings and the road, and enjoy a "mini-lake" at their leisure.
