The Viognier grape expresses itself with great finesse, offering a dense and smooth profile, full of fruit, with notes of peach and apricot, and a hint of minerality. A cuvée you could literally eat !

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Laure Colombo, a young and brilliant oenologist, joined the family business in Cornas but wanted to establish her own estate on the outskirts, in the hills above Saint-Péray, to find her footing; starting this year, she is offering a Saint-Péray and a Cornas from her estate in Lorient. Joining doesn’t mean taking over; Jean-Luc is still here, so the range is built as a family effort, spanning the vineyards of the Côte Bleue and the Rhône, and of course the sourcing activities, sometimes under the Colombo & Fille label, sometimes under Jean-Luc Colombo. The Cornas wines remain the flagship wines here; it must be said that the modern, efficient winery is built at the foot of the hillside! In 2017, the delicious Vallon-de-l’Aigle will be in short supply—only two barrels were produced!
