Domaine des COMBAT

The Domaine des Combat covers 22 hectares, divided between 19 hectares of red grape varieties and 3 hectares of white grape varieties. In red, the emblematic Syrah, queen of the Northern Rhône, makes up the entire vineyard; in white, the Marsanne, traditionally cultivated by the family, has recently been joined by the Roussanne, which will soon enter production.

In the cultivation of the vines, respectful of the environment (HVE certification, zero herbicide and in organic conversion) as in the constitution of our technical installations, which give pride of place to stainless steel to preserve the purity of the fruit, we take care to express as faithfully as possible the identity of the terroirs and the personality of the place.

Our story

The Combat family has always cherished and celebrated the fruit of the vine. By helping to shape the landscape of what was to become, in 1937, the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. By participating in the creation, as early as 1933, of the emblematic Cave coopérative de Tain l'Hermitage. By taking, between the 1980s and 2000, the priority turn in viticulture to gradually distance itself from other agricultural activities. By choosing, finally, in 2017, to give birth to a private cellar, bearing the family name: the Domaine des Combat.

The birth and growth of this Domaine des Combat coincides with the arrival of a new generation and, for the first time, in 2020, with the installation of a woman at the head of the estate: Sandra Combat. By writing a new chapter in the family adventure, this young 27 year old winemaker intends to build on what her forefathers accomplished before her, to better accompany the wines of the property towards new horizons.
