The Colombiere 2013 is quite a step up from the generic village – as it offers a more focused and refined expression of terroir. The nose display deep fruit – showing lovely juicy red and dark berries – bursting with Vosne spicyness – violets and cinnamon – combined with a nice expression of minerality. The palate is showing juicy vibrant fruit with the support of the fine minerality and a crisp acidity. It’s quite weighty for this level – but maintains a lovely mineralic tension and nerve. A lovely Colombiere in the making … the 2013 acidity is a perfect match for this terroir.
