Cornas Les Terres Brulees Jean-Luc Colombo 2017 1,500ml 2017

The Rhône Valley takes its name from the majestuous river, which anchors its geographical beauty from the Alps mountains and run into the Mediterranean sea to the South. The dominant sunshine and pleasant breezes of this large valley creates a perfect climate for grapes growth such as Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre (GSM) for the reds, Grenache Blanc or Gris, Viognier and Marsanne-Roussanne for the whites. North of Montelimar, the Syrah is the dominant single red variety planted, which can resist to cooler semi-continental climate; while south of the town, the warmer, dryer Mediterranean climate produces generous red blends with Grenache dominance. Thanks to an easy growing climate, the Rhône winemakers have been among the pioneers of sustainable and environmental practices and they have been producing world class quality red wines such as the reknown Côtes-du-Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the South or the Côte Rotie and Hermitage in the North. The choices and pleasures of these wines are endless, especially with grilled red meats, sausages or spicy cuisine.
