Château Rochecolombe Côtes du Rhône Villages St Andeol
Château Rochecolombe Côtes du Rhône Villages St Andeol has a beautiful deep red garnet colour. Elegant on the nose, and well balanced with fruity and spicy aromas. Full in the mouth, with a nice roundness and the taste of dried red fruit, spices and a slightly sweet feeling of currants in the finish, the silky tannins, gives an elegance worthy of the greatest vintages.
The Saint-Andéol Cuvée is aged in oak barrels. Powerful and silky smooth, the wine evolves from its vanilla notes to more complex aromas of candied fruit, plums, spices and toasting with a mocha finish. An excellent promise!
The grapes are harvested manually, then they go on the last generation sorting table, to remove all stems and leaf remnants. Then follows a long fermentation between 25 and 30 days at a temperature of 28 to 32 degrees. The wine is aged for 9 to 15 months in oak barrels, 25% of which are new. With a storage potential of 10 to 12 years.

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.
