This wine combines the richness and elegance of Cornas with powerful notes of ripe black fruit and spice. The mellow tannins and deep flavor of the 2014 vintage are combined with the clarity of the Saint-Souffre winemaking process. With its wild nuances, smooth minerality, and long finish, this is a masterpiece that fully embodies the charm of this great Syrah, a representative of the Northern Rhone.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
Deep garnet colour.

From the glass, dense fruit aromas of blackberry, cassis, and ripe plum emerge, along with complex notes of black pepper, cedar, smoke, and iron.

In the mouth, the classic acidity typical of 2014 provides structure, layered with the wild flavor of Syrah and fine tannins.

The pure and expansive fruitiness of Saint-Suffle stands out, while the minerals from the soil and nuances of bitter chocolate create a long finish.

Cornas is at a beautiful stage of maturity, combining power and clarity.

Pairing
Roasted venison loin
Beef cheek stewed in red wine
Grilled Lamb Chop
