Domaine Combel-la-Serre La machine à fruit
Combel-la-Serre was established in 1998. The vineyard is truly a family story, as it was created by Jean-Pierre and Martine Ilbert, later joined by their son Julien and his wife Sophie.
The Estate
The family estate is located 17 kilometers from Cahors, on limestone plateaus. The vineyard takes its name from the plot where the vines are planted, "Combel," and the one opposite, "la Serre."
The Wine
The "Machine à Fruit" is a 100% Malbec ratafia, a product obtained through the process of mutage: fermentation is interrupted by the addition of brandy. This method preserves residual sugars and a vibrant aromatic profile. Thanks to one year of aging in old 225-liter barrels, the ratafia has gained complexity. It offers distinctive notes of candied raspberry and blackcurrant.
