Anne Colombo’s secret garden.

“La Louvée” (The She-Wolf) is a vineyard planted of very old Syrah vines – up to 70 years old, protected by a forest of cedar and live oak trees. The parcel is located in the heart of the Cornas granitic slope and benefits from a South-East facing exposure.
After ageing for two years in oak barrels, La Louvée evolves as a delicate and elegant wine with aromas of raspberry, blueberry, violets, chocolate and ginger-bread notes ending with a distinct minerality. A concentrated wine that can age for 20 years or more and that we love to match with a pot roasted pheasant or with a pigeon.
