ESTATE HISTORY 

The Domaine Lombard estate was founded in 1981 by Jean-Marie and Sylvette Lombard, who contributed to the revival of the Brezème appellation after it was decimated by the phylloxera outbreak, falling from 250 acres to just a few acres in the 1930s.
In 2012, theyretired and a new dynamic team led by Emmanuelle and Julien Montagnon took over the estate. With passion, commitment, and courage they replanted part of the vineyards, secured more land and finally built a brand new winery. They currently own 5 acres of Syrah and Viognier on the Vin de Pays de Drôme appellation and 18 acres of Syrah, Roussanne and Marsanne in Brézème.

TASTING & FOOD PAIRINGS

The dark dress of our wine is illuminated by purple reflections.
The nose is open and intense, offering a cocktail of wild fruits such as wild strawberries, currants, and blueberries.
All these fruits are sublimated by notes of zan, cashew and sental wood.
We wanted the mouth of this refreshing and juicy wine where the tannins are fine and perfectly melted.
To taste on platters, spicy dishes such as tagine or fishs.
