Domaine du Colombier

Florent Viale continues to drive this Domaine from strength to strength and has arguably set himself apart as one of greatest Hermitage producers. Tasting at this Domaine is always a pleasure and our recent visit was no exception. In the words of Florent's brother, David, "2005 est presque le paradis".
