- Opaque and opulent, this wine shows the characteristics of Syrah from the Northern Rhone, with ripe cassis and rich chocolate undertones. Smooth, silky, and concentrated with fine tannins and harmonious balance through to a long finish.
Located in a picturesque valley and surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, the Royes vineyard forms an amphitheater and covers six hectares. This is a spectacular Saint Joseph site, on south-facing steep slopes, situated on the edge of Cornas. The soil is made up of clay and limestone, which imparts elegance to the resulting wine.
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 Chateaubourg 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.
