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: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
