This remarkable wine immediately attracts one's attention because of its deep reddish-black colour. The bouquet strikes a fine balance between vanilla nuances, smoky aromas and ripe fruit (mainly blackcurrant) overtones. Château Grossombre starts out quite smooth and is altogether generous and well-structured on the palate. Spicy, oaky notes prolong the pleasure of this rich wine that deserves to age.
Rich and Powerful
Cabernet Sauvignon 50% / Merlot 50%.
Spring was very trying, with considerable rainfall leading to fungal diseases of all sorts. This called for very close attention in the vines until the 14th of July, when the weather changed durably for the better.
2012 Château Grossombre de Saint-Joseph is a dark, brilliant crimson colour. It was aged in oak barrels.
The bouquet is delicate and elegant, with some smoky, roasted nuances.
There is good balance on the palate from the very beginning, with plenty of substance. As powerful as it is elegant and charming, this wine make a perfect partner for a wide variety of meat dishes.

2015 Edition - Located in the Entre-Deux-Mers, like the "mother estate" in Grézillac, Grossombre (12 hetares) belongs to Béatrice Lurton, one of André Lurton's daughters. Equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, aged in barrel for six months. A black colour with deep purple highlights and an expressive, elegant nose of black fruit, violet, brioche, and spice. Not overpowering on the palate, but round and generous with a long aftertaste of blackcurrant and blueberry. 2016-2020 / Duck breasts.
