    Product description

    Domaine du Colombier is one of the finest sources of high-class and sensibly priced northern Rhône Syrah. Florent Viale, third generation owner and winemaker, matures his wine for long period (2 to 3 years in large 600L barrels) to remove the need for fining and filtration and obtain maximum character and complexity.

    Aromas of ripe melon and stone fruit with hints of orange marmalade and scorched citrus zest. Medium to full-bodied and round on the palate with a long finish.

    The 2018 Crozes Hermitage Blanc is a 90-10 blend of Marsanne and Roussanne. Nearly half was fermented and aged in demi-muids, while the rest went into stainless steel. Ripe, round pear and melon notes finish silky and long in this medium to full-bodied effort.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Domaine du Colombier

    The Domaine du Colombier, located in Northern Rhône Valley, has been in the Viale family for three generations. First vines were planted at the foot of the Hermitage hill in 1929, but prior to 1992, the entire production was sold to local négociants. Once the decision was taken to market wines under the Domaine du Colombier label, the estate became one of the finest sources of high-class, sensibly priced northern Rhône Syrah.

    Today the estate is run by Florent Viale who owns some of the finest plots of the appellation, right next to the famous Hermitage hill. Following sustainable practices, Florent focuses on fruit ripeness and matures his wine for long period (2 to 3 years in large 600L barrels) to remove the need for fining and filtration and obtain maximum character and complexity. As a result, he produces fresh and elegant whites alongside bold and juicy reds. View our selection.
