“Les Eygats always has good natural acidity,” Laurent Courbis told us. “The terraces face east, at 300 metres above sea level, so it’s a cooler site – we regularly harvest 2 weeks later than at Champelrose.” Tasting from barrel, with bottling planned for June 2024, this wine is already striking for its vibrancy and focus. Deep purple colour, there is intense clarity and lift to its black cherry aromas, leading to a full bodied, finely structured palate. Ripeness is balanced beautifully with linear freshness, the finish being long and silky (for drinking 2026-2035+).

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.
