A Tradition of Quality Meets Contemporary Taste
La Colombette isn't a newcomer to wine. The Pugibet family has been cultivating vines since the late 1800s. But they've never hesitated to rock the boat.
When François and Vincent Pugibet saw more people grabbing for alcohol-free products, they didn't see a trend, they saw a challenge: How do you eliminate alcohol without eliminating the essence of the wine?
That's how the "Born to be Free" collection was created.
Meet the “Born to be Free” Wines
You don’t have to compromise on taste just because you’re skipping the alcohol. Here’s what’s in the lineup:
Rouge 0%
Think deep garnet color, ripe red fruit aromas, and a silky smooth finish. Made with Cabernet and Merlot, this one has all the richness of a classic red, without the buzz.
Blanc 0%
A snappy, dry Chardonnay with apple and peach undertones. Pale yellow in the glass and thirst-quenching on the palate. Ideal with seafood or a warm day.
Rosé 0%
Light, pink, and fizzy. Light and playful, it's ideal for garden parties and casual brunches.
Sparkling Options (Baron de Chanteclerc)
Need a celebration without the champagne headache? These non-alcoholic sparkling wines—white and rosé—deliver the bubbles and the taste, without the booze.
So, How Do They Do It?
This isn't fancy juice in a pretty package. La Colombette employs a specialized dealcoholization technique that involves reverse osmosis and vacuum distillation. And what does this mean for you? Easy: the alcohol is carefully stripped away, but the flavor remains intact. And better still? They do it all in-house. No third-party outsourcing. Just complete control of quality from beginning to end.
Award-Winning & Loved Around the World
These wines are not novelties or niches. They are gaining actual recognition. The Rouge 0% won a silver medal in the Mundus Vini Non-Alcoholic competition. This is a big thing in the world of wine. And, yes, you can order them online or get them through selected outlets.
What About Low-Alcohol Wines?
La Colombette doesn't go to zero. They're also well-known for Plume, a low-alcohol wine with only 9% ABV but all the taste you desire. One of the first of its sort, and it peacefully shook up the wine world's addiction to high-alcohol bottles. Plume is scented, goes down easily, and is ideal for food. Particularly if you prefer lighter dinners, vegan food, or just something sophisticated without the added warmth.
From Health to Sustainability: They're Ahead of the Curve
And here's one more thing that distinguishes them: La Colombette prioritizes eco-friendly winemaking. They were among the first in Europe to cultivate disease-resistant grape strains such as Souvignier Gris and Muscaris. Why is that important? Because it implies no chemical sprays. Only grapes, ripened by sunlight, sustained by earth and rain.
