WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine du Colombier Hermitage Rouge is a premium red wine produced by the renowned winemaker Domaine du Colombier. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Hermitage appellation, which is known for its steep, terraced vineyards and granite soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied and complex, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Domaine du Colombier Hermitage Rouge is an exemplary example of a classic Northern Rhone Syrah.The nose is full of red fruit, white pepper, and a hint of violets. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and silky, with a perfect balance of ripe tannins and fresh acidity. It displays intense flavors of dark berry fruits, smoked meats, and a subtle hint of graphite. The wine finishes with a long and persistent finish of blackberry and earthy notes. This is a classic Hermitage with great complexity and balance.

ORIGINS

Winery: Domaine du Colombier

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
