About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Grenache BlendAwarded wih a 89 pts "Best Buy" by Wine Enthusiast, this wine from 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.” “Les Abeilles” (“the Bees”) is a complex, multi-faceted wine that evokes the image of these fascinating creatures, often seen around our vineyards. A blend of red southern Rhone grapes (mainly GSM - grenache, syrah and mourvedre), Les Abeilles originates from 25-year-old vines grown in the region’s ancient, terraced vineyards. This medium-bodied, velvety red has intriguing aromas and flavours of red fruit, liquorice and spice against a backdrop of smooth, silky tannins. Enjoy anytime!

Bronze - International Wine Challenge. 89 pts "BEST BUY" Wine Enthusiast. "Ripe black-cherry and plum flavors are muted by notes of smoke and menthol in this full-bodied blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Its fruit character is primary and plush, edged by soft, persistent tannins. Enjoy this easy-drinking sip now–2022". Anna Lee C. Iijima
