Domaine Cassagne et Vitailles Combarels De l'Ombre is a celebration of the aromatic opulence and graceful nature inherent in the Grenache grape variety. This wine promises a well-rounded and fruity tasting journey, unveiling notes of red fruits, gentle tannins, and a lingering, velvety finish—a true indulgence for the palate.

For an optimal tasting experience, it is recommended to open the bottle in advance, ideally allowing it to breathe for a minimum of 2 hours or to be decanted. This process unveils the wine's full spectrum of aromas. With excellent aging potential, this vintage can gracefully mature in the cellar for 8 to 10 years, evolving in complexity over time.

Perfectly paired with grilled red meats, especially a succulent, marbled prime rib, or lamb dishes infused with thyme or rosemary, Combarels De l'Ombre accentuates the flavors with its fruity nuances and balanced structure, ensuring a delightful culinary journey.

Embarking on a sensorial journey, this wine unfolds with a symphony of fruity and juicy flavors, where the dominance of red fruits—cranberries, lingonberry, red cherries, Morello cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and tart redcurrant—creates a harmonious melody on the palate. A subtle dance of minerality and smokiness, reminiscent of flint, contributes depth to this composition, while expressive and seamlessly integrated notes of liquorice, eucalyptus, and a medley of dried herbs (mint, oregano, thyme) elevate the wine's complexity to a captivating level.

The wine's narrative unfolds with exceptional persistence, guiding the palate through a journey of enduring freshness and a juicy, vivacious finish, graced by a crisp acidity of remarkable precision. The tannins, elegant and well-structured, impart a supple and velvety texture that caresses the senses, leading to a lingering finale with a subtle spiciness and a delightful undercurrent of cocoa bitterness. In totality, a wine of unparalleled complexity, concentration, and refined elegance.
