Following their grandfather, Florent and David Viale have taken over the Domaine du Colombier in the 1990s. Once dedicated to trading only, the two brothers have turned the 17 hectares estate into one of the most important producers around the Hermitage mountain where they cultivate a parcel a bit larger than one hectare. They mainly grow Marsanne for white wines and Syrah for red wines, with the latter being the only red variety of the appellation. Five cuvées are produced in the AOC Crozes Hermitage and their grapes are grown on parcels of the communes Tain and Mercurol. The estate’s cuvée “Gaby” is one of the best Crozes Hermitage has to offer.
