JEAN LUC COLOMBO LA REDONNE COTES DU RHONE 2019

**Jean-Luc Colombo

“La Redonne” Côtes du Rhône 2019**

Style:
A generous, expressive Southern Rhône red that balances ripe fruit, spice, and freshness. Crafted in a modern yet terroir-driven style, La Redonne is approachable, versatile, and excellent value.

Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Deep ruby with purple highlights.

Nose:
Warm and inviting, offering aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, and blackberry, layered with notes of garrigue herbs, black pepper, liquorice, and subtle smoky spice.

Palate:
Medium-bodied and smooth, with flavours of dark berries, red plum, and cherry compote. Soft, rounded tannins support hints of pepper, clove, and cocoa, while fresh acidity keeps the wine lively and balanced.

Finish:
Clean, savoury, and gently spiced, with lingering red fruit and herbal notes.

Blend (typical)

Primarily Syrah with Grenache and small amounts of other Rhône varieties.
