Jean-Luc Colombo - Condrieu Amour de Dieu 2008

Condrieu|White wine
The Condrieu appellation is certainly one of the most unique in the Rhône Valley, if only because it allows for the use of a single grape variety— Viognier—a variety that is, by nature, playful and surprising in more ways than one. Jean-Luc Colombo takes this opportunity to showcase his “Amour de Dieu,” which in 2008 offers a very smooth texture, with notes of yellow fruit, apricot, and peach. A true treat!

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!
