The 2013 Cornas, which saw 50% new oak, still has some oak to integrate, yet has solid aromatics (ground herbs, gamey meat and plenty of fruit), medium to full-bodied richness and good acidity. It’s certainly high quality, possibly outstanding.

This sports a very lively herbal edge, showing savory, thyme and rosemary notes racing along with the core of bright red currant and bitter cherry fruit. The sleek, chalk-edged finish leaves a mouthwatering feel. Drink now through 2025. 271 cases made, 5 cases imported.??–JM??Region: France / Northern Rh?ne / Cornas Select to Add
