France: Domaine Du Colombier
Founded by his grandfather and now run by his sons Florent and David, the Domaine du Colombier initially supplied grapes to the major wine merchants of the Rhône Valley. At Florent's request, their own wines and vintages were developed from 1991 onwards. They have 17 hectares of vines in the towns of Mercurol and Tain-l'Hermitage and also grow apricots . They produce 5 vintages in AOC Crozes-Hermitage, two of them white and three red.
