Winemaker:Domaine Courbis
Planted in 1990, the vines of Les Eygats grow on windy, east-facing, granite terraces, 300m above sea level. This is a cooler plot, open to winds from the north, giving wines with bright acidity, intense vitality and tension. This is currently ageing in 40% new French barrels, for bottling in June 2022. Opaque purple, this has incredibly vibrant aromas of ripe black berries and violets. Palate is full, with multifaceted, dense flavours, tightly knit in a freshly tannic frame. This is a layered, long-flavoured wine with super balance (for drinking 2024-2034+).

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.
