Domaine du Colombier - Crozes-Hermitage Jeunes Vignes 2016
This Syrah Jeunes Vignes cuvée is an excellent introduction to the subject. Supple and delicious, it is a very expressive wine, generous in fruit. The attack is frank, with ripe fruit expressed and supported by harmonious, mellow tannins. A wine with character, delicious and easy to drink!

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
A classic estate in the Mercurol sector, which consistently produces supple wines intended for early consumption. The Gaby cuvée is often more ambitious, with sometimes slightly excessive oakiness in certain vintages with low yields. The reds here are more successful than the whites, as confirmed by our tasting of the 2017 vintage.

About the estate:
Located in Mercurol, the estate proudly flies the flag for the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, of which it is one of the most reliable producers, especially the more ambitious and complex Gaby vintages.
