2016 Jean-Luc Colombo Les Collines De Laure

Jean-Luc and Anne Colombo created “Les Collines de Laure” (The Hills of Laure) as a tribute to their only daughter. The family started planting young vines in the Cornas region of the Northern Rhone Valley in the early 1990s and appropriately named the fruit of their labor after their young daughter. Inspired by her family, Laure Colombo has become increasingly involved in the family business. The 2010 vintage of “Les Collines” is Laure’s own creation: fresh, bright and youthful – just like her! With no oak, this wine is the pure expression of the Syrah grape when grown in the granite terroir of the Northern Rhone. The image on the label is of young Laure Colombo dancing on the hills of Cornas, something she used to do as a child. GRAPE VARIETIES 100% Syrah from Northern Rhone (Cornas, St. Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage) DESCRIPTION Color: Ruby red Aroma: Redcurrant, raspberry and slight spice Taste: Elegant, refined and feminine notes of wild strawberry, raspberry and violet lead way to a balanced finish.
