Colombier
Domaine Colombier is based in the Northern Rhone. The Viale family first planted vines at the foot of the famous Hermitage Hill in 1929. The towering Florent, the 3rd generation of Viale’s, started bottling the estates crop in 1992. Using traditional methods, like no filtration, they make some of the best most consistent Hermitage and Crozes Hermitage wines. Their focus is on ripe fruit but they have plenty of complexity, structure and ageing potential.

Vinous (93)Limpid orange. Powerful, mineral-accented citrus pith, red berry and succulent floral and herb scents, along with a spicy nuance. Chewy and sharply focused in the mouth, offering concentrated strawberry, bitter cherry, blood orange, honeysuckle and smoky mineral qualities and a deeper peach pit flourish. Chewy and densely packed yet lively as well, the mineral and floral notes carrying through a very long, precise finish. - Josh Raynolds |

Vinous (92)Shimmering, onion skin color. Intense red berry, citrus fruit and floral aromas, along with building suggestions of succulent herbs and dusty minerals. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, offering concentrated strawberry, orange pith and honeysuckle flavors that slowly deepen and take on a peachy nuance with aeration. Finishes impressively long and focused, with a repeating mineral note and a late hint of tarragon. - Josh Raynolds |
