Background

Jean-Luc Colombo has been a renowned enologist in the Rhône Valley since the early 1980s. His consultations at prestigious estates across the Rhône quickly earned him a reputation for helping produce incredible expressions of this rugged terroir. But his greatest contribution to the wine world is the exceptional wines he crafts alongside his wife, Anne, and daughter, Laure. The Cornas-based Colombo winery has earned impressive international recognition bringing modern viticultural practices to the region — and for creating beautifully concentrated, balanced, and fresh styles of syrah. Living among their vineyards and wetlands, the family have been committed to sustainable farming, achieving organic certification for their estate vineyards from Ecocert in 2016.

TERROIR & VINTAGE NOTES

The Viognier is from 20 year-old vines in and around St. Joseph (northern Rhone Valley) and the Vermentino (known as Rolle in France) is from the Mediterranean region around Provence.

Winemaking & Aging

This is a blend of 50% aromatic Viognier and 50% subtle Vermentino (known as Rolle in France). A traditional long fermentation at cool temperatures to preserve the delicate aromas. It is bottled immediately to preserve freshness.

Tasting Notes

Elegant, dry, and balanced with refreshing notes of pear, peach, apricot and white flowers. This is a wine with depth that opens with a rich style due to the Viognier and yet will remain long on the palate due to the balance afforded by the Vermentino blend.

90
Points

A blend of equal parts Vermentino (known locally as Rolle) and Viognier, this refreshingly slim, dry white highlights zippy whitepeach and grapefruit flavors. It’s an airy, blossomscented wine, with a crisp, mineral finish. Drink now–2023. —A.I.
