Bottle of : 1.50L

Organic Cornas from venerable Syrah vines

Cultivated from mature Syrah vines on the steep granite slopes of Cornas, this wine expresses the terroir with considerable depth and structure. The age of the vines contributes a concentration rarely found in younger plantings.
A wine of considerable power and complexity, built on a framework of ripe tannins and dark fruit. The 2018 vintage demonstrates excellent balance between richness and freshness, with layers that unfold across the palate.
Particularly suited to rich poultry dishes, especially duck prepared with warm spices. The wine's structure and depth complement gamey flavours and sauce-based preparations with notable harmony.

In the mouth

Well-balanced and structured. The palate shows excellent integration of tannins with ripe dark fruit. A wine that builds gradually, revealing layers of spice and mineral character through the finish.

On the nose

Blackberries and cassis dominate, with violet florals and subtle white pepper. Gentle spice notes—cinnamon and clove—emerge beneath the primary fruit, adding complexity without overshadowing.

On the eye

Deep, intense garnet with dark reflections

L'Avis de l'Expert
Les avis de nos clients

A wine of genuine pleasure. The organic farming practices have yielded a Cornas of purity and expression. Pair with dark chocolate—a square of 70% cocoa—to experience how the wine's tannins and spice complement the cocoa's bitterness. Equally rewarding as a meditative glass in its own right.

Appelation

DOMAINE JEAN-LUC COLOMBO

Planted on the steep granite slopes of Cornas in the Ardèche, Domaine Jean-Luc Colombo farms 6 hectares of Syrah under organic certification, with yields held firmly below 20 hl/ha. Founded in 1984 by Jean-Luc Colombo — a pivotal figure in the modernisation of the Cornas appellation — the estate produced its first vintage of Les Ruchets in 1987. Since 2010, Laure Colombo has led the winemaking, steering the estate through its conversion to organic farming, with full certification achieved in 2015. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the rigour of its work on granitic terroir, the precision of its Syrah, and the consistency of a demanding family approach. A benchmark for lovers of serious red wines from the Vallée du Rhône.
