In the 1950s, Maurice's father planted a large number of vines with native grape varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In 1983, Maurice himself took the helm and has continued to innovate. The result is this Colombelle La Belle Rood, a wine based on pure craftsmanship. It is an excellent blend of four grape varieties, each contributing to the exquisite flavor: Merlot, Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. These four grape varieties, blended in a secret ratio, ensure the top-quality result that Colombelle La Belle Rood has to offer.
As soon as you open a bottle of this French red wine, your senses will be on fire. They'll instantly recognize the characteristics of each grape variety. Think of the red fruit of Merlot, the spicy Cabernet Sauvignon, and the ripeness of Tannat. Just smell Colombelle La Belle Rouge: Attractive red fruits like raspberries and currants smell fantastic. A slight tingle on the nose reveals a subtle spice. The taste is truly overwhelming. Ripe yet soft. Supple yet spicy. Everything seems to be just right about Colombelle La Belle Rouge. On the palate, you discover so much: cherries, blackberries, strawberries, blackcurrants, and spices. Sublime and sensational. We love it.
