Châteauneuf Du Pape, Les Bartavelles 2018

Jean-Luc Colombo has forged an international reputation as one of the most visionary and imaginative winemakers in France’s Rhône Valley and especially in Cornas. “My passion is to create wines that give people pleasure. I want each glass to be like a song praising the simple but important things of life: observing nature, enjoying food and sharing with others.” Round and flambloyant, “Les Bartavelles” (The Partridges) are found on the rolled pebbles terroir of Châteauneuf du Pape. This wine is velvety, with hints of figs and ripe strawberries. The perfect match to a glass of this wine is a classic game casserole or a “Daube à la provençale” (beef in red wine). 45% Syrah - 35% Grenache - 20% Mourvèdre
