Jean-Luc Colombo - Côtes-du-Rhône Les Abeilles Rouge 2009

Sold individually
Drink
A gourmet to the core, Jean-Luc Colombo is quick to get behind the stove and concoct his own secret recipes. This is undoubtedly what guided him in the creation of the Les Abeilles cuvée: simple, charming and warm wines. The Rouge 2009 is full of notes of red berries, coriander and laurel. A must-taste!

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 the 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!
