The tasting |

Intense, brilliant red with carmine highlights. |
|
| | |
|
Intensely fragrant with red and black fruits, smoky notes from the Syrah, underlined by powdery peony aromas. |
|
| | |
|
The flavours mirror the aromas, with a refined, elegant, and well-balanced profile. That smoky, mineral character comes through beautifully, carried by a rich and powerful structure. |

The estate and the wine |

It's always a revelation! Mas Combarèla arguably produces the most ethereal and dazzling reds in Languedoc. With infinite grace and rare intensity, these cuvées nestled in the heart of the Terrasses du Larzac are the work of Olivier Faucon, who, since his first vintage in 2016, has consistently rivaled the greatest.
This neo-vintner, who trained with Vincent Goumard (Mas Cal Demoura) and A.F Gros, and is a close associate of Olivier Jullien, is driven by a culture of high standards and meticulous attention to detail. Organic farming, gentle vinifications, and precise care are his mantras; in a short time, his cuvées have been quickly lauded by top critics, and connoisseurs who taste them relish their broad, delicate, and finely infused qualities… |

A blend of Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah, the 2022 Red Terrasses du Larzac Des Si et des Mi is a true ambassador of its appellation, staying faithful to its terroir. The fragrant nose combines ripe fruit aromas with delicate floral notes of peony, a subtle smoky touch, and discreet oak influence that enhances rather than overpowers. On the palate, it delivers finesse, elegance, and perfect harmony, with a fresh, balanced structure that makes it effortlessly enjoyable. A hint of minerality runs through the wine, giving it depth and precision. A Selection Committee Favourite, rated 93/100. |
