Rating: Gault Millau 16/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20 (Ready to enjoy now)
A 100% Syrah Côtes du Rhône from old vines, harmonious and refined with notes of licorice and ripe fruit, topped off with a hint of mint. A must-try! “Ripe and straightforward, with savory floral notes (violet). The palate is very fresh. Well-balanced, very pure.” (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2010 - Bettane & Desseauve)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard 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 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 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!
