Robert Parker Wine Advocate Jeb Dunnuck - 28 Dec 16
Another beautiful wine, the 2014 Cornas Billes Noires displays classic black and blue fruits, violets, sappy spring flowers and hints of olives in its medium to full-bodied, juicy, elegant and yet nicely concentrated style. Like all of Mathew's wines, it has fabulous complex and a singular character. Give bottles 2-3 years and drink over the following decade.

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.
