Jean-Luc Colombo: three new wines
2013 Picpoul de Pinet Les Girelles £9.99
Details of UK stockists for the Picpoul
Recently I was sent three new wines from Jean-Luc Colombo. Although he is based in Cornas these come from further south. There is a red and white Côtes du Rhône sourced from the southern Rhône and a Picpoul de Pinet.
2013 Picpoul de Pinet Les Girelles
This is quite rich and weighty for a Picpoul with light acidity with some floral notes. It was good
with Scottish haddock plainly baked with a little milk and butter.
2013 Les Abeilles, Côtes du Rhône

2013 Les Abeilles, Côtes du Rhône Blanc £9.99
This is a blend of 80% Clairette and 20% Roussanne sourced from vineyards in the communes of Cairanne, Rasteau and Vacqueyras. The 2013 is attractively floral and quite richly textured.

Rich, easy drinking, richly textured, damson and other
black fruits.
