From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

A true family estate from the Rhône region, we're talking about Jean Luc Colombo, of course. The winery was founded in 1986, and Jean Luc was the driving force behind this great success. Today, he runs the family estate with his wife and daughter. There's always a lot of hard work at the estate, and that's reflected in the unparalleled purity of these wines. It's therefore no wonder that these Jean Luc Colombo wines feature on numerous wine lists at various Michelin-starred restaurants. The family is proud of this, and that's only possible with a great deal of respect for nature. The winery and winery are located amidst the vineyards in Cornas, where the natural beauty is as stunning as the wines. As a result, Jean Luc Colombo cultivates many of his vineyards organically and has a deep respect for the surrounding environment.

This white wine comes from the Côtes du Rhône wine region. In the northern tip of the region, Jean-Luc Colombo cultivates his beautiful, old vineyards, filled with Clairette and Roussanne grapes that nourish this exquisite white wine. The climate is perfect, with abundant sunshine and cool mountain air. The grapes mature slowly and absorb plenty of nutrients from the rich soil structure. When the harvest is ripe, Jean-Luc Colombo has the grapes harvested early in the morning to prevent oxidation and bruising during transport.

Unparalleled purity is what Jean Luc Colombo stands for. Upon opening this bottle of wine, we immediately smell a beautiful aroma of white flowers and crisp citrus fruit aromas. In the glass, this Les Abeilles Blanc is a light yellow with a hint of green. Swirl the glass vigorously, and you'll encounter the most beautiful aromas of white flowers, white fruit, and a touch of spice. On the palate, we taste the finest Côtes du Rhône quality, ripe and soft with a lovely fresh attack of citrus fruit and apple. Later, as the wine settles, nuances of white fruit and a touch of gooseberry also emerge.
