The vineyard’s name, meaning “Valley of the Monks,” hints at its historical significance. Situated on a steep slope with east-facing exposure, it benefits from optimal sunlight and excellent drainage. The soils are predominantly limestone and marl, contributing to the wine’s minerality and finesse. The cool microclimate ensures a slow ripening process, preserving acidity and enhancing aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested and undergo meticulous sorting. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, with careful temperature control to preserve the purity of fruit. The wine is then aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, with 40-50% new oak and the remainder in once-used barrels. This aging regimen imparts subtle oak nuances while allowing the vineyard’s character to shine through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2022 La Combe aux Moines displays an intense ruby red hue.
