Château de Colombe Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux 2023
Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux AOC

Across the slope from Saint-Emilion’s Grands Crus Châteaux Faugères and de Pressac lies little Château de Colombe. It sits on the same limestone ridge but in less fashionable Castillon. Hence this supple claret is both delicious and well priced.

The Story Behind the Bottle
Tucked away in Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux, next to Saint-Emilion, lies award-winning Château de Colombe, a tiny estate much neglected until we took ownership in 2012. Now it’s being lavished with utmost care in the vineyard and the cellar. Our Head Winemaker, Haut-Brion-trained Jean-Marc Sauboua, quickly spotted the potential of its steep, south-facing slopes and limestone soils. Judging by the many Golds it’s won over the years, he was spot on. 2023 was a lovely, fresh vintage, producing wines with excellent depth and balance. There's no rush with the wine. Open early and decant. Merlot with a little of both Cabernets and Malbec, aged briefly in oak, this red is fruit-rich and supple. An ideal Sunday roast, casserole or cheese red.
