Tasting Notes

Vinous Nicolas Greinacher - 28 Mar 24
The 2021 Cornas is a solid red that’s concentrated and elegant, offering crushed violet, red plum, red cherry and iodine layers paired with stemmy gradations. The medium-bodied 2021 concludes with wonderful freshness on the savory finish. It shouldn’t take long to come around, something that cannot be said for the surrounding vintages.

Cask samples tasted at the domaine.Sample 1: Petite Côte.Lots of spice and black pepper. The tannins are rather elegant and fine – firm as well. Vivid and bright dark fruits and a real sense of luxurious richness and opulence.Sample 2: Sabarotte. Liquorice, leather and a ferrous note on the nose. Generous tannin and good, fresh, zesty acidity.Sample 3: La Côte.Seems to be showing some age already. Cool blue fruit, fig and balsamic.Sample 4: Reynards. Wow! Powerful and dense palate – leather, spice, ripe dark fruits, meat and muscle. This has some grunt! Really gorgeous blend of power and refinement. (AC)

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.
