The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Propelled by a young team with the highest ambitions, Domaine Georges Lombrière is making a stunning entrance among the signatures of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The 2019 vintage confirms its status and its success with the greatest restaurants: the Elysée cellar has even included it on its menu!
Wine The 2019 White Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Thaïs has all the attributes of a great southern white wine without the excesses associated with its climate. Soft texture, bewitching scents of lime blossom, infusion, white flowers and white fruits, a palate of great volume underlined by a very ripe harvest... A very beautiful bottle to keep for ten years and to associate with poultry, turbot or scallops.
Vinification Hand harvested in crates with a low yield of 30 hectoliters per hectare. Matured for 7 months in Burgundy rooms. Manual bottling.
Micro-vintage of 700 bottles.

Estate in organic conversion & certified High Environmental Value.
