Golden yellow colour with silver nuances. The nose is beautifully complex, with light oakyness, rich aromas of apricots, peaches, and honeysuckle. The mouth is round and fresh, with an elegant, long finish.
Love of God. The elegance of opulence. Very steep granitic slopes of the famous Condrieu appellation, with southern exposure, surrounded by oak woods.
The grapes are hand-picked. The wine is vinified in oak barrels whith slow fermentation, then aged on lees and stirred for 10 to 12 months depending on the vintage (15% new and the rest in 1 to 4 year old barrels).
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.
