Originally Burgundian estates owners, it was in 1981 when Hervé Lescombes, starved for adventure and freedom, emigrated from France to southwest New-Mexico, saw a new opportunity and was determined to revitalize the wine industry there.  Today it is Florent Lescombes and his brother, Emmanuel, who continue the family tradition as the sixth-generation owners and winemakers.  Lescombes Family Vineyards are situated in Grant county, 47 miles west of Deming.  With over 100 hectares of their own vineyards and state-of-the-art winery, this makes them the largest family winery in New-Mexico, producing modern attractive wines thanks to the combination of high altitude plantations, hot dry sunny days and cool nights.
