Description
Made from 40-year-old vines, this is a blend of different lieux-dits in the granite foothills of Cornas. The name itself, meaning “chert”, refers to the siliceous rock specific to the area. The nose boasts mostly fresh red fruits with just a nod to spiced dark berries, some dried. The palate is soft and linear, with bright, redcurrant acidity.

Critics reviews
Alistair Cooper MW 16.5/20
Cask sample. Tasted blind. Brooding and serious nose, biltong, smoked game and meat. Good concentration of fruit and firm tannins. Fresh acidity through the wine gives energy. The tannins are quite present and need to calm just a little, but lots to enjoy.

About this wine
Cornas
Cornas was established in 1938. Only reds are made, and solely from the Syrah grape; a contributing factor to their style is the granitic soil. The wines are made traditionally and often spend two years in oak. They are also strong and powerful – a cross between Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie – but typically display less finesse. After five to 10 years of ageing the best examples take on a more elegant and complex character.
