Description

La Sabarotte is a powerful wine, more ‘Cornas’ perhaps in style that the Courbis brothers other wines, from old, terraced vines planted in 1947. Aged 66% in new oak barrels, it has a splendid nose that is richly aromatic, with spiciness, ripe dark berries and dried herbs, very complex. This is a wine with a huge volume of mouth coating flesh and richness. The fruit is ripe and intense, with great depth and character. It is mineral, finely structured and has lovely freshness. As above, a wine for the cellar (for drinking 2022-2034+).

Domaine Courbis

Located in the commune of Châteaubourg, where the rivers Rhône and Isère meet, this Domaine has been in the family since the 16th century, with Courbis brothers Dominique (in the vines) and Laurent (in the winery) at the helm. Their Cornas wines opened our eyes to the beauty of the appellation several years ago, as we enjoyed older bottles in restaurants when travelling in the area. We were fortunate to start shipping directly from the Domaine with the 2016 vintage.

With a twinkle in his eye and a range of wines that consistently impresses us, our tastings with Laurent are one of the highlights of our travels.
