COLOMBO & FILLE<br />
VINEYARD REGIONS: RHÔNE VALLEY<br />
A rising star from the Rhône and one of the<br />
youngest from the region, Laure’s wines are<br />
approachable with a feminine elegance<br />
made with food in mind. Produced in<br />
limited quantities this boutique label is an<br />
inspired and personal story.<br />
Fruit for Colombo & Fille comes from a<br />
selection of the best grapes from the<br />
Colombo family vineyards and established<br />
growers from some of the most picturesque<br />
villages of the Rhône Valley.<br />
“Viticultural policy is very much about sustainability and harmony, with<br />
respect for nature and the environment. There is absolutely no irrigation - the<br />
philosophy being to grow fruit which has experienced a little stress to produce<br />
something with character and personality at the end of the day.”<br />
High quality wine, full of ripe primary fruits,<br />
with a perfect balance and sense of place<br />
representing the most beautiful villages of the<br />
Rhône Valley are key to all the wines.<br />
All the wines are crafted with the utmost<br />
care, in a very natural way in order to<br />
respect the fruit. The limited production<br />
allows perfect control in the winemaking<br />
process in small tanks. The objective during<br />
the vinification is to preserve the primary<br />
aromas of the grapes and to make supple,<br />
silky, floral and juicy ripe wines. The use of<br />
new oak is limited during maturation to<br />
achieve balance and subtlety.<br />
