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.
