Winemaker:Domaine Courbis
La Sabarotte is the Domaine’s most powerful wine, from south-facing, old, terraced vines planted in 1947. It is maturing 70% in new oak barrels, colour being very deep purple, the nose being splendidly complex and expressive: richly aromatic with floral, black and red fruits underpinned by delicate sweet spice. This is a mouth-coating, powerful, finely concentrated wine, with all elements firmly held in place by a fresh, mineral structure. With ample ripe tannins, this will age magnificently (for drinking 2025-2038+).

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.
