Cornas 2017 Chante Perdrix - Delas Frères
This wine is a blend of grapes grown on various plots; all of them facing south. Average Delas production: 15,000 bottles (75 cl.) per year. Grape variety : Syrah 100%
The colour is an intense garnet red. In its youth, this wine has strong blackcurrant aromas. With time, the fruit aromas gradually fade, giving the way to hints of pepper and liquorice. The palate is structured and has the strongly-defined flavours that are typical from this "terroir".
Vineyard :
The vineyard lies entirely on the commune of Cornas located on the right Rhône river bank.
Soils :
The soils are varied, with odd alluvium deposits on steep, shale slopes that are held up by dry stone walls.
Climate :
Very sunny south/southeast facing slopes.
History :
The Cornas wines have been invariably famous since the 10th century. They were served to kings, both in France and elsewhere. AOC status and improved quality have enabled the vineyard to regain its reputation.
Surface area under production :
96 hectares (240 acres), for an average annual production of 3,210 hectolitres (35,666 cases). Authorized maximum yield is 40 hectolitres/hectare (2.3 US tons/acre).
