Deep garnet colour. The nose has wonderful aromas of red fruits and spices. The wine provides a fresh mouth with silky tannins and aromas of ripe strawberries and fresh pepper.
Le Pavillon des Courtisanes literally means “The Courtesans’ House”. Sourced from the stony and clay terraces located in Cairanne. The grapes are de-stemmed and vinified in temperature-controlled vats. The wine is aged partly in oak barrels (15% new oak and the rest in 1 to 4 year old barrels) for 10 to 12 months, depending on the vintage. This wine is certified Organic.
Jean-Luc’s fulfilment of a childhood dream came with the purchase of his first vineyard, a small parcel of old vines planted on a granite hillside overlooking the village of Cornas. The 1987 release of Jean-Luc’s first vintage of Cornas Les Ruchets was a great success, taking the French wine world by storm, and becoming the first in a long series of vintages of what is universally regarded as Colombo’s iconic wine. Over time, the range has steadily grown to include red and white wines from the Rhône Valley. Jean-Luc also has a great love for the Mediterranean, and the Blue Coast in particular, where he pioneered vine growing, producing his first vintage in 2012. Each of the wines in the range has a distinctive label, carefully created by painter and family friend of the Colombo family, Marie-Annick Dutreil.
