Details and technical informations about Winery Septentrionales's Cornas.
Discover the grape variety: Oeillade blanche
Simple, dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet southern rustic profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, bearing witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the southern vineyard. Rare French white grape, formerly grown in Provence and the south-east.

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: Vintage (champagne)
It is a champagne made from a single harvest. In principle, we only vintage the great years: 1988, 1990, 1995, 1996... We find more often, now, the very good 2002, and the 2004, a little short.
