The precision and richness of a Cornas red wine
The estate
The epicurean oenologists, Jean-Luc Colombo and his wife founded the eponymous estate in 1987, with the ambition of producing fine Cornas wines that highlight the potential of this Rhône Valley terroir. A passionate man, Jean-Luc Colombo favours a plot-based vinification process in order to bring out the pure and authentic expression of the old vines that make up his vineyard.
The wine
Jean-Luc Colombo's 2012 Louvée is a Cornas wine made from old south-facing vines that rest on the eponymous parcel of land, upon a soil composed mainly of granite.
Vinification and ageing
Aged in barrels for 18 months.
The blend
Syrah (100%).
