"Taut and decisive, Cornas Terres Brulées 2022 opens with marked notes of cedar, ripe black fruits and graphite. The medium-bodied palate has a solid concentration of flavors and a fresh, acidic backbone. With great finesse, it can age another four years in bottle." (Vinous 2024). A magnificent debut!

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!

About the wine:
Aromas of red and black fruits, iron, smoky earth, roasted garrigue, and fleshy nuances emerge from the Cornas Terres Brûlées 2022. Medium-bodied to full-bodied and concentrated, it has firm tannins, the sun-kissed fruit of the vintage, and exceptional length. It deserves 2 to 4 years of cellaring and will keep for the next 10 to 15 years if stored properly. Drink between 2029 and 2044.
