This wine offers a classic yet bold Cornas Syrah expression. On the nose you'll find aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and a touch of violet, with deeper notes of olive tapenade, cured meat, and graphite. Hints of lavender, pepper, and smoked herbs appear in the background, along with subtle underbrush and mineral shale.
On the palate it’s full‑bodied, with firm but well‑integrated tannins and vibrant acidity that give structure without harshness. The texture is rich, dense, and slightly chewy but balanced with a fresh, stony minerality from its granite soils. The fruit core is dark: black plum, bramble berry, a note of dried herbs, and a whisper of leather. In the finish there’s a warming smoky note, lingering black pepper, and a savory twist of char and graphite. It shows both power and finesse, with a long, balanced, slightly earthy yet polished finish.
