Jaboulet now produces two cuvees of Cornas. In 1993 they purchased a tiny 7.5 acre parcel of old vines on the Cornas hillside. The wine produced is called the Domaine de St.-Pierre. In addition to that wine, there is the negociant cuvee of Cornas. The 1995 Cornas displays copious amounts of pepper, earth, tar, and spicy scents, as well as licorice and black fruit notes. With medium body and moderate tannin, it is a wine to drink over the next 7-8 years. After declassifying most of their top cuvees in 1993 and producing 1994s that were sound, but generally uninspiring (several wines that have been re-reviewed in the following text are showing better), this hallowed firm just south of the village of Tain l'Hermitage has produced very high quality 1995s. That's good news for the many fans of Paul Jaboulet-Aine.
