With its perfectly extracted fruit, Château Rochecolombe's Côtes-du-Rhône Villages reveals great aromatic complexity and length on the palate. Powerful yet silky, the wine evolves from its vanilla notes to more complex aromas of candied fruit, spices and roasting. A lovely promise!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Formerly owned by Flemish songwriter Robert Herberigs, this 28-hectare (certified organic) Ardèche estate has been run since 1998 by Roland Terrasse, his grandson. It owes its name to the "dove-white" stone that makes up the château's Directoire-style building. Often in the spotlight for its Côtes-du-Rhône and Villages wines.
