100% Malbec (aka Auxerrois locally). "Peyres Levades" is Occitan for "pierres levées", a direct reference to the stoniness of the terrain of this 0.58-hectare lieu-dit. The vines are over 50 years old and yield only 25-30 hl/ha. Besides being notably stony, the soils are the most limestone-packed of the Combel micro-terroirs. The farming is certified-organic and in conversion to biodynamics. The bunches are hand-harvested and mainly destemmed. The juice ferments at cool temperatures with indigenous yeasts in a 50-hectoliter wood tank. Maceration lasts around 30 days. The wine is aged in the same wood tank for 16 months and bottled without filtration and with minimal sulfur. Peyres Levades is by far Combel La Serre's smallest production at around 2000 bottles.

green grapes

Varietal: Malbec

Malbec grapes have a beautiful deep and dusty purple color, and can now be found growing in abundance in many different countries. They thrive most successfully in hot, dry southern climates, a long way from their home in native France. However, whilst many Old World wineries had and continue to have a lot of success with this flavorful grape, its susceptibility to rot and weakness against cold and damp meant that its usage began to dwindle in the countries such as France whilst it grew in the New. Malbec's thick skins lend it strong tannins, something which allows the wines produced from these grapes to hold their distinctive, astringent and full-bodied character. They also tend to be packed full of plummy, fleshy fruit-forward flavors, making them an interesting and complex grape for single variety wines, as well as an ideal grape for blending and aging.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
