Powerful white wine from the Côtes du Rhône

Well, this is certainly one of Jean Luc Colombo's finest white wines, if you ask us. A white wine from the Côtes du Rhône wine region, made up of two-thirds Viognier grapes with a Rousanne addition. These grapes are both grown in very old vineyards nestled in a very strong soil structure. Wine has been grown on these soils for hundreds of years, which contributes to the quality of the bunches. The climate, with its abundant sunshine and warm summers, contributes to the ripening of the harvest. The fresh breeze provides some cooling and ensures the drinkability of this white wine. Once the harvest is ripe, it is harvested entirely by hand and strictly controlled. This ensures that only the best bunches end up in the bottle, and we can taste that.

What a beautiful white wine, full-bodied and aromatic, the joy begins the moment we open the bottle. We smell a powerful aroma of apricots and a hint of grapefruit. In the glass, it erupts into a soft yellow and offers a rich bouquet of flowers, white and yellow fruit, and hints of spice. On the palate, it's a true, full-blooded Jean Luc Colombo wine, powerful on the palate with abundant fruit nuances and a rich, soft, fresh flavor. The back of the palate reveals some spice and room for yellow fruit. The powerful, long finish completes the picture, making this one of our favorite wines from the Côtes du Rhône.
