- It is a stunning and aromatic wine, with notes of red fruit and Morello cherry complemented by elegant oaked spice. This classic cornas has a round, textured palate enveloped in luscious, deep black cherry flavours. It is a wine of great finesse with a long, exquisite finish. It is an opulent and complex wine with intense flavours of black fruits, liquorice, wild herbs, and fresh mineral and graphite notes.
The grapes were hand-harvested, destemmed and lightly pressed. Vinification took place in closed stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of between 30 and 32°C. The maceration process lasted 12 to 15 days until the desired levels of colour and flavour were extracted. The wine was then transferred to vats (50%) and French oak barrels (50%), of which 25% were new. The wine underwent malolactic conversion and was bottled in oak after 18 months of ageing.
This classic Cornas has a round and textured palate enveloped in luscious deep black cherry flavours, subtle spice, and delicate oak notes. It is a wine of great finesse with a long, exquisite finish.

| Winery | Situated on the right bank of the river Rhone, not far from the city of Valence, the site of Cornas combines the factors of a 'Grand Terroir'. This one-hectare Cornas La Sabarotte vineyard is situated at 70 metres above sea level and is considered among the best sites of the appellation. It has ancient, low-yielding vines, mostly planted in 1947 (some are even older). The soil is a thin decomposed granite-limestone layer over solid granite rock, which has poor fertility and is free draining, encouraging the vine to develop strong root systems. The site is perfectly orientated to the south-east, optimising the sun's influence on the ripening vines. |
