AN APPELLATION WITH CHARACTER! \u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Produced on the right bank of the Rh\u00f4ne, Cornas wines are part of the Northern Rh\u00f4ne Valley.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The wines are produced here, and only here. The vineyards are located in the Ard\u00e8che department, with the Saint Joseph appellation to the north, the Saint-P\u00e9ray wines to the south, and the city of Valence across the Rh\u00f4ne. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A RICH TERROIR\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Although the first written record of the vineyard dates back to 1763, the vineyard was shaped by the Romans, with the appearance of terraces and low walls.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The vineyard is very small, just 150 hectares, and is planted mainly with Syrah on steep, east-south-east facing slopes. A few white grape varieties are also present, but cannot be included in the Cornas AOC. They will therefore be labelled as Vin de Pays de l'Ard\u00e8che. <\/span><\/span>Terraced sandy soils with limestone scree make up a rich terroir that benefits from a temperate climate with a strong Mediterranean influence, resulting in warm summers and plenty of sunshine. <\/span><\/span>There are several top-quality lieux-dits on this terroir, such as Le Coulet, Chaillot and La Geynale, which stands out from the rest.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A STYLE OF WINE \u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Visit\u00a0Syrah grape variety<\/a> combined with the Cornas terroir and warm climate, produce very powerful wines. <\/span><\/span>The wines are dark, very deep red. Often high in alcohol and heady, they have great ageing potential. Busy when young, the wines are tannic and robust, but will offer a superb aromatic palette after a few years in bottle. Notes of spice, tobacco and leather complement the black fruits. <\/span><\/span>They are therefore wines to match<\/a> with powerful dishes, red meats and fine game. <\/span><\/span>The town of Cornas has around 80 winegrowers, and there are of course many more excellent winegrowers than the three we have selected.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
