🏰 The 2020 vintage in Cahors, where Combel La Serre is located, was characterized by an early budbreak and flowering, leading to an early harvest. While there were issues with millerandage (shot berries) reducing quantity, it enhanced concentration in the remaining crop. A warm and dry summer led to hydric stress, but the best wines are excellent. Combel La Serre is certified organic as of the 2015 vintage, and they focus on minimal intervention.
While specific notes for the 2020 "Dios y Diablo" are scarce, other Vermentino from Combel La Serre (like "De la Terre à la Lune" 2022) offer bright notes of citrus blossom, green apple, and white peach, with subtle hints of wild herbs and saline minerality. On the palate, the wine is crisp and vibrant, featuring lively acidity and a clean, mouthwatering finish. Generally, Vermentino is known for rewarding aromas with a bit of minerality, floral notes, and fruit, being super refreshing and mouthwatering. 【 An organic, terroir-driven Vermentino from a Cahors producer primarily known for Malbec, showcasing a fresh perspective on white wines in the region. 】
🍴 Vermentino is a versatile white wine. It pairs beautifully with fresh seafood (oysters, scallops with herb butter, kingfish ceviche), Mediterranean dishes (Caprese salad, pesto pasta, grilled vegetables), BBQ fare (chicken skewers with lemon myrtle, grilled snapper with mango salsa), goat cheese, and light Provençal-style dishes. It's also one of the few wines that pairs well with artichokes and fennel.
🥂 Its bright, zesty profile makes it an ideal companion for warm-weather meals, casual gatherings, or as a refreshing summer sipping wine.
