Blend of parcels: Colombis, Cristia, Rayas, and Les roues. Colombis is a cuvée of old Grenache vines located on three cool terroirs. Since 2004, Colombis has offered an elegant interpretation of its location. This cuvée is in the firmament of the wines of the "Isabel Ferrando Family". It is the free expression of its time, a time when finesse, freshness and energy are the testimony of the eternal youth of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Tasting Comments

The nose of peony flowers and garden roses is open and invigorating.

The attack is fresh, the mid-palate fine and tight, and opens on bitter chocolate. Aromas of cherries and raspberries, dark chocolate, liquorice and a hint of tobacco characterise this wine.

Time is the ally of this great wine whose subtle tannins and cherry and raspberry aromas herald 2020 as a great Grenache year.
