DOMAINE LE COLOMBIER

Domaine le Colombier is one of the many hidden vinous gems dotted throughout France. Located in the southern Rhône village of Vacqueyras, this historic property is managed by Jean-Louis Mourre. Since his ascendance, the wines have become particularly good. He does have great tools to work with, the cellar and vines some of the oldest in the village.

Mourre has a great understanding of the physical aspects of the estate, particularly around the soils. Le Colombier is organically certified. The resulting wines from Vacqueyras, Côtes du Rhône and Ventoux are spectacularly good, right across the range. The Vacqueyras have become a benchmark for the style, with Parker hailing them as stars of the appellation.
