Jean-Luc Colombo - Cornas Les Ruchets 2019

"The origins of the estate, the soul of the Colombo family

"I was impressed by the quality of the 2019 Cornas les Ruchets, which stands out for its concentration, richness and velvety texture. Full-bodied, it offers layers of blackberry fruit and is tinged with notes of dark chocolate, black olives and licorice, while offering a succulent, mouthwatering finish." (Wine Advocate 2022). Impressive!

Jean-Luc Colombo - Cornas Terres Brûlées 2021

"The most beautiful representation of Cornas

"Powerful yet delicately charming, this wine presents seductive aromas of black plum, black currant, violet, white mushroom and fresh earth, which merge into a complex bouquet with an abundance of violets. Well-integrated tannins support a palate of pure blackberry, black cherry, dried herbs, baked earth and oak spices. The finish is long and refined. Cellar until 2035+ to reveal its full depth." (Wine Enthusiast 2024) A magnificent debut.

Jean-Luc Colombo - Cornas Le Vallon de l'Aigle 2018

"Quintessence by Jean-Luc Colombo

"Notes of scorched earth, salt and iron mingle with punchy blackberries and plums in this opulent but very precise Syrah. The producer's flagship in Cornas, this bottling is made only in exceptional vintages from the free-run juice of low-yielding, 70-year-old vines. Brilliant and rich, yet light and airy, this wine is delicious in its youth, but still has decades of evolution ahead of it. Drink it until 2040. (Wine Enthusiast 2021)

Jean-Luc Colombo - Cornas La Louvée 2020

"Anne Colombo's secret garden

"Juicy aromas of ripe red fruits and plums rest delicately on green olives, provoking the taster's appetite. On the palate, red and black fruits are delicately framed by Indian spices, while the olive brine never ceases to seduce with its formidable flavor. Mouth-watering acidity and silky tannins complete its charm, making this wine irresistible." (Wine Enthusiast 2023). Simply superb!

Jean-Luc Colombo - Cornas Les Ruchets 2020

"The Colombo soul

"The 2020 Cornas Les Ruchets shows less oak than previous vintages, with a nose of sappy red fruits. It's medium- to full-bodied, silky - not chunky or muscular - with a long, refined finish." (Wine Advocate 2022). Impressive!

Note: Gault Millau 17/20
Les Fées Brunes is one of Jean-Luc Colombo's two forays into the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, made from old vines carefully cultivated on the granite slopes to the north of the appellation. An intense 2007 vintage of red berries: blackcurrant, blackberry, with peppery notes. A real success!

Jean-Luc Colombo - Saint-Péray La Belle de Mai 2008

A blend of Roussanne and Marsanne, La Belle de Mai has a yellow color with green highlights, and an intense, flattering nose with floral aromas and ripe fruit notes of violet, iris, quince, citrus... A balanced, fresh wine with a full, fruity, mineral mouthfeel.

Les Forots is a Côtes-du-Rhône made from old Syrah vines, full of harmony and finesse, with licorice, ripe fruit and a hint of menthol. Suppleness, serious tannins, fatness and balance are its main assets...

Jean-Luc Colombo - Côtes-du-Rhône La Redonne 2009

Cuvée La Redonne is a delicious blend of two noble Rhone Valley grape varieties, which give the wine a rare freshness and balance: Viognier, which brings finesse and aromatic richness, and Roussanne, which brings power and roundness. A Côtes-du-Rhône with accents of apricot, dried fruit, hazelnuts and hints of honey...
