The estate and the wine |
|
|
Jean-Luc Colombo, a prolific winemaker in the Rhône Valley, has established a high-end domain marked by remarkable success. Driven by a love for the land, he has meticulously created a diverse range of finely crafted wines that blend elegance with delight, always with a keen respect for the environment.
Since setting up in Cornas in 1980 and becoming a symbolic figure of the appellation, this enthusiast has now passed the baton to his daughter Laure. She, like her father, continues to offer immediately charming wines that reflect the essence of their terroir. This transition ensures the continuation of a winemaking legacy that prioritizes both quality and environmental stewardship. |
