La Combe Saint-Paul, Rolle IGP Pays d'Oc, 2024

"Extremely attractive and stylish label. Lemony and lightly scented with blossom, plus a hint of fresh pears. Light-bodied, fresh and rounded in the mouth, as if it had spent time on the yeast lees, giving it a gently grip and more presence in the mouth. Fruity, soft finish. Undemanding all-rounder. GV" 16/20. Drink 2025–2026, Julia Harding MW, www.jancisrobinson.com, 22nd November 2025

La Combe Saint-Paul

La Clape, France

Paul and Line Maury might be our youngest producers but winemaking runs in the genes.

Paul’s grandparents and great grandparents were winemakers specialising in single varietal wines, and we list his fine examples of Vermentino, Chardonnay and Viognier.

In 2008 Paul came across the opportunity to buy vines on La Clape and create his own domaine....

As such it is grown principally in Southern France and Spain (as Garnacha). It is usually blended with other varieties in the Southern Rhône and Languedoc (Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan, Cinsaut and others).

Its flavour usually encompasses the...

La Croisade, Pinot Noir, IGP Pays d'Oc, 2024

Perfumed, pretty Pinot Noir that benefits from some of the fruit being picked from cool climate vineyards in Limoux. Lots of Pinot character with some richer dark chocolate notes adding complexity. Drink now - 2026.

La Liquiere, Tutti Frutti Rouge, Vin de France 2024

"Full bottle 1,145 g. 60% Cinsault, 20% Syrah, and 20% Grenache. The vines are all from AOC Faugères but declassified to Vin de France. A wine that lives up to its name. Tutti frutti, but not at all jammy or confected. Just lively, fun, robust blackberry, plum and strawberry fruit laced up with lively tannins, a bit of liquorice and a menthol kiss." 16/20, 2025-2027, Tamlyn Currin, www.jancisrobinson.com,  9th August 2025
