Description
Colombulle de La Colombière is a Pét' Nat made from Négrette grapes, produced using the traditional method. A modern brut rosé, naturally sparkling, crafted with patience and expertise. This wine offers notes of pressed fruit, strawberries, peaches and citrus, a delicate palate and very appealing, crisp bubbles. Best served well chilled as an aperitif, in a cocktail, with a festive buffet or with a lightly sweetened fresh fruit dessert.

The experts’ opinion
This iconic estate in the Villaudric terroir produces particularly authentic and easy-drinking wines. A determined and enthusiastic young winemaking couple, Diane and Philippe Cauvin have chosen since 2006 to manage their vineyard using biodynamic methods (certified in 2012). Always full of energy, they have made a name for themselves with a first-class wine tourism offering for groups and individuals alike. Available in several vintages, some made entirely from Négrette, the style of La Colombière’s wines is balanced, refined and subtle, without artifice or embellishment. This exemplary personal vision serves as a valuable benchmark in the current development of the Fronton appellation.
