Mas Combarèla Terrasses du Larzac "Ode aux Ignorants" red 2022:

Jancis Robinson, (December 2024): 93+/100 (=16.5+/20) “Made from 100% Carignan vines, aged 75 years, around the domaine. Certified organic. Medium purple with shading. Gamey and interesting nose. Intense fruit with a hint of spice and none of the unpleasant and harsh notes that could spoil Carignan in Languedoc. For the table. (2025-2031)”

Guide Bettane + Desseauve 2026 (Sept. 2025): 90/100. “Olivier Faucon continues to amaze us with his magnificent reds, airy and of rare intensity, impressive for their fine grain and saline finishes. Since his first vintage in 2016, this domaine of 12 hectares has consistently approached the greats and fully deserves the third star awarded in 2022 after only three vintages produced. The fourth is approaching.”

Guide Hachette 2026 (Sept. 2025): 1*/3 (very successful wine). “Aged for two years in barrel and concrete egg, this cuvée (often featured in these pages), discreet on the nose, becomes more loquacious on the palate with a licorice and fruity profile, lively, fresh, well-supported by silky tannins. The charm is evident now, but the potential is undeniable.”
