Jean-Luc Colombo La Louvee Cornas 2003
Syrah/Shiraz
from Cornas, Rhone, France
winemaker's notes:
Grape Varieties
100% Syrah from 70+–year-old vines.
Vinification
All work in the vineyard is done manually. After complete de-stemming, the grapes are macerated for one month, then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged 18 months in new oak barrels.
Bouquet
Powerful, rich and complex, with aromas of black fruit and hints of chocolate and licorice.
Taste
Harmonious and elegant, "La Louvée" exhibits outstanding concentration and a long, lingering finish. Enjoyable in youth, it has the potential to mature and evolve for another two decades or more.
Serving Suggestions
This Cornas pairs perfectly with beef, game, truffles and mushroom-based dishes.
Production Area
Single vineyard site characterized by granite areas on the steep slopes of the right bank of the Rhône.
