Jean-Luc Colombo Terres Brûlées – Cornas – Red – 2020:

 

The Ultimate Northern Rhône Syrah: Cornas ‘Terres Brulées’ Organic

The Cornas ‘Terres Brulées’ Organic Red Wine from Domaine Jean-Luc Colombo is a benchmark expression of premium Northern Rhône Syrah. Sourced from the appellation’s famed, steep granite slopes-the ‘Burnt Lands’-this wine is a testament to organic viticulture and the Colombo family’s dedication to producing powerful, yet elegant, age-worthy wines.

Tasting Notes (Current Vintage)

• Color: Deep, dark red, almost black, with vibrant violet edges.
• Nose: Intense and complex, offering seductive aromas of ripe black plum, cassis, violets, and liquorice, beautifully layered with hints of cocoa, coffee, and fresh earth.
• Palate: Full-bodied, rich, and concentrated. The tannins are substantial and powerful, yet remarkably refined and silky, providing a velvety texture. The finish is long, focused, and distinctly mineral with a signature peppery spice.

Pairing & Serving

This is a cellar-worthy wine (10-15 years) that demands a bold partner. We strongly recommend decanting for a minimum of two hours when enjoyed young to allow the wine to breathe and soften. Serve at 60-64°F (16-18°C).

• Food Pairings: Bone-in Grilled Ribeye Steak, Smoked Beef Brisket, Venison Chili, or aged, hard cheeses.
