Rochecolombe Côtes du Rhône Clairette
Rochecolombe Côtes du Rhône Clairette has a beautiful deep red color of pomegranate. This wine is structured, round, elegant and well balanced. Aromas of red fruit, leather and cocoa. We taste a light ripeness in the mouth, the tannins are fine.
An elegant wine that can be used with charcuterie and grilled meat or fish from the barbecue, for example, preferably with herbs such as thyme and rosemary.
The grapes are largely harvested manually and then go onto the sorting table to remove all stems and leaf residues. Then follows a fermentation between 10 and 15 days at a temperature of 28 to 32 degrees. The wine is aged for 12 to 15 months in concrete Cuvées.

Château Rochecolombe
Born in Oudenaarde (Belgium), Robert Herberigs was a well-known songwriter and visual artist. He bought Château Rochecolombe in 1925 as a second home. At that time, the domain consisted of one large orchard (apricots) and several plots of vines.
Shortly after the Second World War, his eldest son Gilbert and his wife Geneviève van de Vyvere took over the reins of the estate. They then convert the apricot fields into vineyards. During the first fifteen years, the harvest was sold to the Bourg Saint Andéol Cooperative and a trading house from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. In the 1960s, he took an unusual step at the time by building his own cellar for the production of Côtes-du-Rhône, when the main production in that region was simple table wine.
In 2021 it is Roland who, supported by his wife Florence and their two children, is working energetically on the future of this exemplary domain.
All vineyards are organically cultivated and there is also an emphasis on the superlative, working in biodynamics. The wines all have a high concentration and are not filtered. The ordinary 'Côtes-du-Rhône' was already good for a fat nine in the Volkskrant. It is a wine of unprecedented quality within this Appellation.
