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 forays into the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, made from old vines carefully cultivated on the granite slopes of the northern part of the appellation. An intense 2007 vintage with red berries: blackcurrants and blackberries, complemented by peppery notes. A real success!

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!
