Winemaker:Domaine Courbis
Located on the granite terraces above Champelrose, La Sabarotte is a warm plot, planted in 1947, which gives very small, deeply concentrated Syrah. This is consistently the most powerful and firmly structured Cornas at the domaine, with most ageing potential. Ageing 55% in new oak barrels, for June bottling, colour is very deep, aromas being explosive and layered: spicy, floral, full of black fruits. This is luscious and dense, having rich middle, mouthcoating texture. and long, mineral length (for drinking 2027-2038+).

Winemaker
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.
