Cornas 2023 Champelrose - Domaine Courbis

92/100 James Suckling

"A harmonious, balanced, and flavorful Cornas, revealing aromas of black cherries, raw cocoa, and sweet spices. The palate is medium-bodied, supported by fine tannins. The fruit is ample and deep, accompanied by notes of sweet spice. A supple and serene finish. Enjoy now or cellar."
