Winemaker:Domaine Courbis
From 3 hectares of Syrah vines located in the foothills that lead up to La Sabarotte, this is the most approachable and open of the family’s three Cornas cuvées. Just 3% new oak was used for maturation here, the aim being to keep the wine focussed on its intense, natural fruitiness. Very deep ruby-purple colour, aromas are taut and fragrant: bramble fruit, black olive, cassis. The palate is full and tightly concentrated, having focus, purity and lift. Tannins are fresh and in perfect harmony (for drinking 2022-2028+).

Winemaker
Domaine Courbis
Located in the commune of Châteaubourg, where the rivers Rhône and Isère meet, this Domaine has been in the family since the 16th century, with Courbis brothers Dominique (in the vines) and Laurent (in the winery) at the helm. Their Cornas wines opened our eyes to the beauty of the appellation several years ago, as we enjoyed older bottles in restaurants when travelling in the area. We were fortunate to start shipping directly from the Domaine with the 2016 vintage. With a twinkle in his eye and a range of wines that consistently impresses us, our tastings with Laurent are one of the highlights of our travels.
