Description
This Cornas is a blend from 2 different vineyard sites:
– 60% of the final blend is from vineyards located on a hillside (16 year old vines on the “coteau”), planted on sandy soils, decomposed granite and some rocks, giving the structure, spiciness and licorice flavors to the blend.
– the other 40% of the final blend comes from the bottom of the slope (40 years old vines on the “pied de coteau”), planted on sandy soils, bringing acidity and balance to the wine.
Expressive, deep, rich, silky and juicy. Well structured and round, it displays red fruit, leather, black cherry, liquorice and black berry aromas.
“Sun-baked brush, sage and smoked meat perfume crisp cassis in this ripe but freshly postured Syrah. Black-fruit flavors are glossy and penetrating but backed by a zippy spine of acidity and tense, fine-grained tannins. The wine drinks well already but should improve through 2030 and hold further still. – Anna LEE C. IIJIMA”
