Château des Combes Bordeaux Rouge 2019From the gently rolling vineyards of Entre Deux Mers, nestled between the Dordogne and the Garonne, Chteau 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.

the deep-rooted vines thrive in the region’s warm climate

delicate aromas

leading into a palate that is off-dry

a gentle creaminess from time on lees introduces balance and finesse without overshadowing the wine’s refreshing core
