Description
The soul of the Domaine, from the first Colombo vineyard
Terroir : Single parcel vineyard at an elevation of 250m. Granitic soil on the famously steep slopes of "Chaillot" in Cornas, surrounded by green oaks and junipers. The soil is well-covered with bark mulch to limit erosion and encourage the natural growth of the vines.
Vinification : After the hand-harvest, the grapes are de-stemmed and vinified in controlled temperature vats with 1 month maceration. Then the wine is aged in oak barrels (1/3 new, 2/3 in 1 to 3 year old barrels) for 22 months.

Tasting
Hue : Splendid dark colour.
Nose : Very complex and elegant nose, both floral and fruity. Beautiful notes of violets, black fruits, spices and a hint of vanilla.
Palate : Powerful palate, well-structured with very elegant and ripe tannins. The palate evolves in the mouth to show great complexity.
Service : 18°C/64°F and decant if possible. Delicious with most game, such as wild duck rubbed with crushed spices, but also superb with a roasted tenderloin steak.
