With his collection of wines from the South of France, Jean-Luc Colombo explores the terroirs of Languedoc and Provence, notably with the Les Pins Couchés cuvée from the Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence appellation. The 2008 Rosé is a classic, perfect for summer—very delicate, round, and full of finesse. It surprises with its complexity on the palate, featuring notes of raspberry-like red fruits, fresh cherries, black olives, and fennel... A taste of leisurely relaxation in the shade of the pine trees...

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

Laure Colombo, a young and brilliant winemaker, joined the family business in Cornas but wanted to establish her own estate on the outskirts of Saint-Péray to find her footing; starting this year, she is offering us a Saint-Péray and a Cornas from her estate in Lorient. Joining the family business doesn’t mean taking it over—Jean-Luc is still there—so the wine portfolio 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’s worth noting 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!
