Rating: Wine Spectator 92/100
With its intense ruby-purple color, the Cornas "Terres Brûlées" displays finesse and elegance. It boasts impeccable fruit, powerful yet refined tannins, and a nose dominated by black fruit aromas and a smoky note that gives way to a rich, well-balanced palate and a velvety finish... A truly beautiful bottle!

Eye
A deep red color, like ink
Nose
with aromas of red berries, blackberries, and spices, developing into hints of tobacco and licorice
Palate
A lovely roundness, with spices that blend beautifully with the fruit, and a supple finish well-balanced by freshness. The palate is rich and indulgent, with the spicy notes coming through on the palate, where the wine is rich and concentrated.

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard 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 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 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!
