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.
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.
Awards
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.
