Deep yet bright color with violet reflections. A complex nose with notes of small ripe fruits with nuances of violet, wild currant, and peppermint. The palate is harmonious, with a good aromatic persistence, fruity and spicy with fine tannins.
Cézanne’s Art Studio. An expression led by the alliance of Syrah and granite. Granitic terraces on the steep slopes of the Saint-Joseph appellation,
surrounded by oak forests and acacia trees. The grapes are hand-picked, de- stemmed and vinified under controlled temperature. The wine is then aged for 12 months in barrels (15% new oak 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.
