Rating: Wine Spectator 91/100
Les Lauves is already a very harmonious wine with great aromatic persistence, which will gain finesse and complexity in the years to come. It already shows beautiful notes of very ripe red berries, with hints of violet, wild currant, and peppermint. Don't miss it!

Bettane & Desseauve
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!
