A juicy blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 10% Mouvèdre, Jean-Luc Colombo’s 2016 Rouge “Les Abeilles” is laden in red fruit—a bushel basket of black cherries, macerated strawberries, and rhubarb are followed by lighter notes of underbrush, vanilla, dusty earth, and anise. On the palate, nimble acidity lends brightness and freshness to this softly textured Rhône. Closes with bay and white peppercorn. 14.0% ABV | Sample
It’s worth noting that “Les Abeilles” or “The Bees” is a charming nod to the family’s history of beekeeping and their commitment to sustainable viticulture.
