Jean-Luc Colombo : La Louvée 2011

Cornas is a small appellation of 110 Hectares (272 acres) overlooking the Rhone Valley, located on steep terraced plantings with granite-riche soils. The birthplace of the Syrah, this is where the grape variety finds the purest expression of its characters. This unique land is renowned for yielding wines that combine minerals, depth, power, and complexity. A superb dark red hue introduces Domaine Jean-Luc Colombo 2011 La Louvee. Incense, cassis, and cacao emanate from the delicate yet deep bouquet. The balanced palate offers lovely minerals with beautiful length and silky tannins. The 2011 La Louvee is well balanced altogether.
