The wine region of Cornas
Smallest cru of the northern Rhône right bank (AOC 1938): signature Syrah exclusively as ruling red (100% mandatory) — deep black robe with intense aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), violet, spice, pepper and liquorice, rich and powerful texture, firm tannins evolving to a liquorice finish, decade-long ageing ≥15 years. East-southeast amphitheatre slopes on granite "gores" (sandy clays), Massif Central, optimal exposure.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Green harvest or green harvesting
The practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining grapes tend to gain weight.
