Drink now through to 2028. Decant 1 hour before serving.

Nicknamed the “Winemaking Wizard of the Rhône”, Jean-Luc Colombo bought his first Rhone Valley vineyard site with his wife Anne in Cornas in 1986. Despite first moving to the area to set up a pharmacy and oenology lab, the couple quickly built a reputation for making some of the region’s most original and authentic wines. Jean-Luc has been awarded the prestigious Légion d’Honneur award for his contributions to French winemaking and their winery has even been named one of the top 100 in the world by Wine & Spirits Magazine.

This magnificent Crozes-Hermitage is a fine testament to Jean-Luc’s winemaking talent and vision. All of the Syrah grapes that go into the Les Fees Brunes are harvested by hand and following vinification the wine is then aged in oak barrels for a total of 15 months.

On the nose this complex wine exudes layers of luscious blackcurrants and raspberries, dried Mediterranean herbs and dark chocolate. The first sip reveals the deep, concentrated dark fruit aromas you expect from a Rhone Valley red along with savoury, earthy notes and fresh acidity levels which give the wine poise and balance. Les Fees Brunes is an excellent wine to drink alongside herby roasted lamb, but if you have the patience to wait it will also continue to evolve and develop in the cellar over the next few years.
