On his Côte-Rôtie plots, as on the rest of his estate, Jean-Luc Colombo follows the principles of sustainable viticulture, respecting the soil and attuned to the terroir. This is evident in the 2007 La Divine, a round and powerful Côte-Rôtie that proudly asserts its origins with a solid structure and beautiful concentration. An elegant and distinguished wine!

Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Laure Colombo, a young and brilliant oenologist, joined the family business in Cornas but wanted to establish her own estate on the outskirts, in the hills above Saint-Péray, to find her footing; starting this year, she is offering a Saint-Péray and a Cornas from her estate in Lorient. Joining doesn’t mean taking 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!
