"The Soul of the Colombos"

“The 2020 Cornas Les Ruchets shows less oak than previous vintages, with a nose of juicy red fruits. It is medium-bodied to full-bodied, silky—not heavy or muscular—with a long, refined finish.” (Wine Advocate 2022). Impressive!

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!
