New vintage, 2008 was rated: Gault Milau 15/20
The Les Abeilles cuvée opens the estate's range of wines and marks the entry into the Colombo dimension and style. Les Abeilles blanc is a very fine cuvée, marked by floral notes and fruity aromas of candied lemon, complemented by a beautiful freshness. A wine to be enjoyed now, perhaps as an aperitif?

Rated estate (2022 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Laure Colombo, a young and brilliant oenologist, joined the family business in Cornas but wanted to create her own estate on the heights of Saint-Péray to find her feet. This year, she is offering us a Saint-Péray and a Cornas from her Lorient estate. Joining does not mean taking over. Jean-Luc is still there, so the range is being built as a family, between the Côte Bleue and Rhône vineyards, and of course the sourcing activities, sometimes under the Colombo & Fille label, sometimes under Jean-Luc Colombo. The Cornas wines remain the great wines here, and 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 rationed, with only two barrels produced!
