Julien Ilbert is the winemaker of Château Combel la Serre. He is also co-proprietor, and the work sits inside a family line he describes plainly: "This is a family business that goes back four generations as viticultors."
The Essentials The cellar’s brief is site first, vine first. "We are passionate specifically about our 'terroir' and today the most important thing for us is to make wine that reflects our soils, with respect for the vine, of course." When asked for references beyond his own cellar, Ilbert keeps the answer broad before naming two French benchmarks: "Hard to say because we love French wines in general and overseas wines as well. But let's say Loire Valley for their freshness and Rhône wines for their authenticity."
