The old vineyards of Colombelle La Belle Rood
In the 1950s, Maurice's father planted a large number of vines with native grape varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In 1983, Maurice himself took the helm and has continued to innovate. The result is this Colombelle La Belle Rood, a wine based on pure craftsmanship. It is an excellent blend of four grape varieties, each contributing to the exquisite flavor: Merlot, Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. These four grape varieties, blended in a secret ratio, ensure the top-quality result that Colombelle La Belle Rood has to offer.
