Tasting Notes

Jancis Robinson Jancis Robinson - 05 Dec 08
Northernmost area of Billes Noires and a particularly distinctive barrel – sold only in (250) magnums. Gore is a local name for granite. Very deep crimson. Very dense and dry and natural. But extremely youthful. Very sucky stony. Leave for ages! But much more supple than most Cornas. (JR)

Cornas Vineyard Fine Wine

Cornas

Cornas, a prestigious Northern Rhône appellation, is famous for bold, robust Syrah wines. Grown on steep, sun-drenched slopes, these wines are known for their intensity and depth, featuring flavours of dark berries, black pepper, smoked meat, and earthy notes, with strong tannins and excellent ageing potential. Cornas focuses exclusively on 100% Syrah, with granite soils adding to its complexity. Top producers include Domaine Auguste Clape, Thierry Allemand, and Domaine Alain Voge, all celebrated for expressing Cornas's unique terroir.
