Jean-Luc Colombo - Saint-Joseph Le Prieuré 2007
Jean-Luc Colombo’s talent and dynamism leave their mark on the finest appellations of the Rhône Valley, as exemplified by this Saint-Joseph Le Prieuré, which has matured on the granite terraces of the river’s right bank. It reveals itself with elegance and finesse, offering delicious notes of flowers, black fruits, and licorice, enhanced by a hint of spice. A must-try!

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!
