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 us 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 there—so the wine lineup is developed 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’s worth noting 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!
