Critics reviews

Alistair Cooper MW 16/20

Whole-cluster fermentation with indigenous yeasts after 5-day cold maceration. Vatting for 25 days with twice daily pumpovers no punchdowns). Aged for 16 months in used two to eight years old) oak barrels. Cask sample.

Tasted blind. Smoky and slightly reduced on the nose with a hit of black pepper. The palate has good freshness as well as taut tannins – moderate intensity as well on the mid palate. Quite elegant and appealing in style.

Drink 2026 - 2032

Matt Walls 95/100

Has good weight of fruit, though no huge concentration like in other vintages. Ends on quite firm tannins, but they have a certain suppleness compared to the harsher green tannins elsewhere in Cornas this year. Classic style, with grip and presence that should age with interest, though will always be one for fans of a more ascetic Cornas style. Whole-bunch fermented, from 100-year-old vines grown in Reynard. Aged in used barrels, no new oak. 4,000 bottles made.

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.
