"Juicy aromas of ripe red fruits and plums rest delicately on green olives, provoking the taster's appetite. On the palate, red and black fruits are delicately framed by Indian spices, while the olive brine never ceases to seduce with its formidable flavor. Mouth-watering acidity and silky tannins complete its charm, making this wine irresistible." (Wine Enthusiast 2023). Simply superb!

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Laure Colombo, a brilliant young oenologist, joined the family business in Cornas, but decided to set up her own domaine on the heights of Saint-Péray to find her feet. This year, she is offering us a Saint-Péray and a Cornas from her domaine in Lorient. Joining doesn't mean taking over: Jean-Luc is still here, and so the range is built up as a family, between the vineyards of the Côte Bleue and those of the Rhône, and of course sourcing activities, sometimes under the Colombo & Fille label, sometimes under Jean-Luc Colombo. Cornas are still the great wines here, and the modern, rational winery is built at the foot of the hill! In 2017, the delicious vallon-de-l'aigle will be rationed, with only two barrels produced!

Domaine noté (guide 2022) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Tasted as a vat sample of the final blend, Cornas La Louvée 2020 comes from a single parcel in the La Côte locality. It's bursting with purple raspberries and delicately herbaceous notes, yet is remarkably full-bodied and concentrated, with a long, velvety finish.
