Note: Bettane & Desseauve 14.5/20
Cuvée Les Méjeans offers freshness and intensity, with floral scents (violet, iris), fresh fruit (blackcurrant, redcurrant, blueberry), hints of toast, liquorice and coffee; a wine that's greedy on the palate, with good roundness and a velvety texture. To be discovered in a fine vintage!

Cornas
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Laure Colombo, a brilliant young oenologist, joined the family business in Cornas, but decided to set up her own domaine on the heights of Saint-Péray to find her feet. This year, she is offering us a Saint-Péray and a Cornas from her domaine in Lorient. Joining doesn't mean taking over: Jean-Luc is still here, and so the range is built up as a family, between the vineyards of the Côte Bleue and those of the Rhône, and of course sourcing activities, sometimes under the Colombo & Fille label, sometimes under Jean-Luc Colombo. Cornas are still the great wines here, and the modern, rational winery is built at the foot of the hill! In 2017, the delicious vallon-de-l'aigle will be rationed, with only two barrels produced!
