Description

The vines of Les Eygats grow on a high, windy, east-facing plot, 300m above sea level, on granite terraces. The grapes naturally retain good acidity, giving a vibrant wine with great ageing potential. In 2018 it aged for 18 months in barrels, of which 50% were new and 50% had held 1 or 2 previous vintages. Deep ruby-purple, this has sensational, rich, fragrant aromas of ripe black berries and violets. Palate is fleshy, with good volume and luscious fruit, all tightly held in a fine, tannic frame. This is a racy, long-flavoured bottle for the future (for drinking 2023-2032+).

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.
