- A stunning and aromatic wine, with notes of red fruit and Morello cherry complemented by elegant oaked spice. This classic Cornas has a round and textured palate enveloped in luscious deep black cherry flavours. A wine of great finesse with a long, exquisite finish.
Situated on the right bank of the river Rhone, not far from the city of Valence, the site of Cornas combines all the factors of a 'Grand Terroir'. Its exceptional microclimate, granite soils and old vines contribute to the potential for making great wines. The vineyard soils are made up of decomposed granite, which are free draining and very poor in nutrients, conducive to producing low yields.
Domaine Courbis dates from the 16th century and has been handed down from father to son since the start of the 20th century. It is now under the dynamic partnership of two brothers: Laurent, who is responsible for winemaking, and Dominique who looks
after the 35-hectare vineyard. The estate includes eight hectares in Cornas, five hectares in Saint-Joseph Blanc and 19 hectares in Saint-Joseph Rouge, in the communes of Châteaubourg and Cornas. The vines are planted on steep granite hillsides and their polished wines are wonderful examples of modern vinification blended with traditional viticulture and top-quality terroir. The Domaine Courbis wines are of extremely high quality and are consistently met with worldwide acclaim.
