"Great precision in the definition of the palate, racy and slender. The tannins are stylish, the aromas of pepper and chocolate are very delicious." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France). A powerful, structured red with great finesse of ripe and smooth tannins. The blossoming on the palate is that of a complete wine!

About wine:
Highly precise on the palate, elegant and slender. The tannins are stylish, with deliciously rich aromas of pepper and chocolate.
About the estate:
Laure Colombo, a young and brilliant oenologist, joined the family business in Cornas but wanted to create her own estate on the heights of Saint-Péray to find her feet. This year, she is offering us a Saint-Péray and a Cornas from her Lorient estate. Joining does not mean taking over. Jean-Luc is still there, so the range is being built as a family, between the Côte Bleue and Rhône vineyards, and of course the sourcing activities, sometimes under the Colombo & Fille label, sometimes under Jean-Luc Colombo. The Cornas wines remain the great wines here, and 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 rationed, with only two barrels produced!

Note and opinion by Mr. ANTONIO D. Published on 05/27/2013
The last time I had the chance to taste this wine was last year, the 2001 vintage. It had a spicy smokiness and an endless finish, and even a year later, I still remember it! A highly seductive wine for an unforgettable moment!
