Product description
Sourced from estate vineyards in Crozes-Hermitage with careful vineyard management and low yields promoting concentration and site expression. Domaine du Colombier produces high-quality, well-priced northern Rhône Syrah. Florent Viale ages the wines for two to three years in 600L barrels, avoiding fining and filtration to maximise character. Bold Syrah with rich aromas of red berry and cherry alongside hints of pepper and mineral notes. The palate is smooth with fine tannins and great length.
This bold, juicy Syrah opens on streaks of blueberry jam and sweetly spiced blackberry compote. While fresh and forward in fruit profile, it's grounded by an earthen, tarry undertow of minerality and a fringe of fine-grained, penetrating tannins. It’s ready now but should hold through 2026.
