Vintage Report

The 2021 vintage in the Rhône Valley is characterized by excellent quality with scores up to 94 points. The wines show good balance and elegance despite the variable weather conditions during the growing season.

What a beautiful, structured red wine! Anyone who enjoys a robust red wine will find a perfect match with this Grenache. Thanks to the high-quality grapes that are given ample time to ripen, this creates an attractive red wine with powerful fruity notes. A delightful wine experience from the French Descombe family.

The vinification process of Famille Descombe Grenache

In 1905, the Famille Descombe family business was founded in the Beaujolais region. In the 1930s, the second generation decided to expand the estate by purchasing vineyards in the Rhône Valley. Later, vineyards in Alsace, Burgundy, and Bordeaux followed. Today, the estate is owned by the fifth generation. From day one, the focus has been on quality and the family spirit, which must be preserved: a love of wine. The Grenache vines are deeply rooted in clay and limestone soil. This provides ample water reserves, allowing the grapes to ripen well. When the Grenache grapes are fully ripe, they are harvested. Traditional winemaking follows in the Famille Descombe cellars. The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. After temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine is aged for a further six months in concrete tanks.

Famille Descombe Grenache with a sweet twist

Deep red is how the Grenache from Famille Descombe appears in the glass. The aroma reveals delicious fruity notes of blueberry, blackcurrant, and an appealing touch of licorice. The palate is rich with plenty of volume and dark fruit notes. A light sweetness also lingers on the tongue. This Grenache from Famille Descombe offers a wonderful wine experience. Excellent on its own, but also delicious paired with grilled meat or Provençal dishes.
