Found in Lupé, right at the edge of the Pilat Natural Park, the Colombet family have been grape growers since the 18th Century. Today, the estate is run by Nicolas Colombet and his wife, Bernadette, taking over from Nicolas’ father in 2019.  They farm 6 hectares of vines in the Saint-Joseph and Collines Rhodaniennes appellations. Since the 1950s the estate has been run using mixed farming of both crops and animals to help diversification.
