About this winery

A 23-hectare family estate located 17 km from Cahors on the Causse Calcaire, Combel-la-Serre came into being under the impetus of Jean-Pierre ILBERT, who decided to leave the cooperative winery in 1998 to become independent. His son, Julien, returned to the estate in 2003 and now works with his wife Sophie.

Product notes

This cuvée Château (formerly Coeur de cuvée) from Combel La Serre reflects Julien Ilbert's vision of Cahors wines: a strong identity for the grape variety and the appellation, but above all a pleasure to drink. This 100% Malbec (Côt Noir) is made from grapes grown on the estate and purchased from the Causse calcaire (between 320 m and 350 m altitude) on mainly clay-limestone terroirs.

Production notes

Traditional vinification is short (maceration for two weeks) in stainless steel and cement vats. Aging lasts 1 winter on fine lees, in vats only. The wines are bottled very quickly to preserve their freshness.

Tasting notes

A magnificent expression of Malbec with great aromatic precision, featuring black fruits, licorice, violets and subtle woody notes. The Cahors appellation at its finest. A distinctive Cahors to accompany grilled red meats and a cheese platter.
