"Anne Colombo's Secret Garden"

“Juicy aromas of ripe red berries and plums delicately rest on notes of green olives, whetting the taster’s appetite. On the palate, red and black fruits are delicately framed by Indian spices, while the olive brine continues to captivate with its remarkable flavor. The mouthwatering acidity and silky tannins round out its charm, making this wine irresistible.” (Wine Enthusiast 2023). Simply superb!

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!

Wine rated (2022 guide) 91–93/100 (Excellent Wine)

Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

Tasted as a tank sample of the final blend, the 2020 Cornas La Louvée comes from a single plot located in the La Côte cru. It is brimming with purple raspberries and delicate herbaceous notes, while remaining remarkably full-bodied and concentrated, with a long, velvety finish.
