Jean-Luc Colombo Description
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.

Roasted black cherry and blackberry aromas ride alongside black raspberry and plum on the nose. Black fruit leads on the palate and briefly dips its toe into a pool of red cherry followed by supportive, grippy tannins that flesh out the finish. Pair with Beef Bourgogne and roasted lamb.
