Cornas


See Cornas producers See a list of Cornas wines See map

Cornas is situated directly south of St. Joseph, and west of the river Rhône. It is 12 km south of Tournon and directly east of Valence. Importantly temperatures are hotter than Hermitage which is only 7km away. Its a small appellation located in a south-facing semi-ampitheatre with granite-rich soils. The appellation was established in 1938 and only red wines are produced solely from the Syrah grape.

A contributing factor to the style of the wines is the granite-based soil and the wines are made traditionally and often spend two years in oak. The wines are strong and powerful - a cross between Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie, but typically with less elegance and finesse. They tend to be much more serious wines than either St. Joseph or Crozes-Hermitage.

Cornas can have a slightly raw and rustic side to them. Young Cornas can be deep, dense, almost pitch black in colour and ferociously tannic. After 5-10 years of ageing the best examples take on a more elegant and complex character marked by aromas of sous-bois and wild animals.

Pierre’s new joint-venture with Stéphane Robert from Domaine du Tunnel exploits well-appointed terroir at the St Péray end of the appellation. The quality of the raw materials allied to the cerebral nature of the winemaker have conspired to make something rather special here, ... MORE

Granite and gneiss soils, perched over the village, have produced classic Cornas. Matured in demi-muid and barrique, the wine has blackberry, violets and garrigue on the nose, then a charming palate with ripe and harmonious tannins.

Granit 60 is an appropriate name, describing, as it does, both the soil and the gradient of the Parisian vineyard. Vincent’s wines are marked by both their perfume and their purity. The 2007 Cornas,Granit 60 is a fine ambassador for this style, combining aromatics of violets, liquorice and ... MORE

This wine is due to be blended in late spring, and it’s looking good so far. For top Cornas to be approachable in youth would be heretical, but this 2008 comes close. The elegance and floral flamboyance of the wine are supported by ripe fruit tannins and plenty of silky, savoury charm. Drink ... MORE

Three parcels of 100-year-old vines in Cornas, high above the village, have yielded this dense and brooding wine. ‘Vin Noir’ is the traditional and wholly appropriate nickname for all wine from Cornas. More tannic and unyielding than the Classic Cuvée, the Vin Noir will ... MORE
