Jean-Luc Colombo - Crozes-Hermitage Les Fées Brunes 2007
Rating: Gault Millau 17/20
Les Fées Brunes is one of Jean-Luc Colombo’s two offerings from the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, made from old vines carefully cultivated on the granite-rich slopes in the northern part of the appellation. An intense 2007 vintage with notes of red berries—blackcurrant and blackberry—complemented by peppery notes. A true success!

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 Lorient estate. 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!
