More about this wine
More about this wine
The Cornas vineyards grow on the right bank of the Rhône. The steep, East-facing slopes form a natural amphitheatre, protecting the vines from cold winds. Syrah is the appellation's only authorised grape variety, expressing its full strength and power in this terroir.
100% syrah.
Terroir
Shallow soil and composed mostly of massive granites rich in potassium, iron, and magnesium. Microclimate created by a combination of sun and mistral wind.
Winemaking
Hand harvest and vinification in whole grapes.
Extended maceration to obtain a concentrated wine
built for years of ageing, with an intense red colour.
Ageing
Extended maturation in large new and old tuns,
favouring the softening of the tannins and limiting
the contribution of woody notes.
Bottled in 2022, can mature until 2040.

Xavier Vignon
Xavier Vignon inherited from his parents’ two fundamental values: the love for a job well done and the capacity to transmit knowledge.
His in-depth knowledge of the Rhône Valley (34 harvests as an oenologist worldwide), his mentors, all the vintners he has been working with and his incredible memory have been forging his style and identity: Terroir driven, fruity and complex wines supported by freshness and minerality.
Xavier has been consulting for the very best wineries all his life and now dedicates his talent to his own creations.
