Note : Wine Spectator 91/100
La cuvée Les Lauves est un vin déjà très harmonieux et doté d’une grande persistance aromatique, qui gagnera en finesse et complexité dans les années à venir. Il avance dès à présent de belles notes sur les petits fruits rouges très mûrs, aux nuances de violette, de groseille sauvage et de menthe poivrée. A découvrir !

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated domain (2022 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard 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!
