- When to drink this wine? Can be drunk now through 2028.
- Tasting notes: "This wine marries notes of old-fashioned Cornas, dark bramble, charcoal, olive and bay leaf with more modern, lively flavors of blackberry, raspberry and boysenberry. All of this blends perfectly with the long, detailed finish. "
THE DOMAIN TELLS YOU ABOUT IT
'A great classic. This is the oldest of the Domaine's cuvées, created in the 1970s to enhance the old family vineyard. The vines for this cuvée are located in the heart of the appellation opposite our first replantings. Les Vieilles Vignes is the mirror of our history and know-how.
TERROIR
Located on hillsides at an altitude of about 200 meters, with a south/southeast exposure, the vines of our classic are 60 years old on average. They are deeply rooted on old and very degraded granites, locally called gores.
