Description

From 3 hectares of Syrah vines located in the foothills that lead up to La Sabarotte (see below), this is the most approachable and open of the three Cornas cuvées (“my version of Village Burgundy”, says Laurent). Opaque purple colour, aromas are gorgeously perfumed, combining ripe black cherries and mineral freshness. The palate is supple and finely layered, with focus, purity and lift. Tannins are gentle and in perfect harmony (for drinking 2021-2027+).

Brand

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.
