For this red wine, we travel to the northern tip of the Côtes du Rhône region. There, Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre grapes grow on very old vines, each accounting for a third of this red wine. The bunches are grown with the utmost respect for nature, which is what Jean-Luc Colombo is known for. A pure wine guided by nature. The bunches grow in a wonderful climate with plenty of warmth and coolness. This allows the harvest to ripen slowly and very evenly, resulting in a powerful and full harvest.
The label features a swarm of bees, an important insect in winemaking, according to Jean-Luc Colombo. After all, without bees, there is no wine, which is why he depicted them on this red wine. The Jean-Luc Colombo Les Abeilles Côtes du Rhône is known for its versatility and smoothness, and we notice this immediately upon pouring this red wine. It boasts a beautiful light red color with a subtle purple sheen. Its aroma is rich and offers impressions of red fruit, licorice, and spices. The palate is soft, with abundant red and black fruit. On the cheeks, some herbs and a swarm of berries complete the whole experience. A soft and refined finish completes the whole.
