From the gently rolling vineyards of Entre-Deux-Mers, nestled between the Dordogne and the Garonne, Château des Combes is a fine example of how Bordeaux continues to deliver outstanding value alongside classic character. This 2019 vintage shows the rewards of patient ageing, offering maturity, balance and unmistakable regional charm at an accessible price point.
Unusually for the area, a generous proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon forms the backbone of the blend, lending structure and the ability to age gracefully. Now at six years old, the wine has softened beautifully. The fruit has evolved into notes of ripe red plum and cherry, layered with earthy, savoury nuances, while time in oak has contributed gentle spice, polish and smooth integration. The tannins are finely mellowed, giving a wine that feels complete, harmonious and thoroughly satisfying.
An excellent match for roast chicken, lamb chops, or slow-cooked beef stew. Its structure and savoury depth make it a natural partner for hearty, comforting dishes.
