Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 28, 2020 - Syrah. 13% alcohol. Grapes mainly from the Patou vineyard, where the domain disposes of 1.4 hectares. 0.5 acres are 60 year old vines. Only natural yeast from own vineyards is used in the fermentation. Over-pumping occurs regularly. The wine is stored and ripened in well-used oak barrels (2-8 years old) and bottled unfiltered about 18 months after the wine harvest.
Fresh and very pleasing aromas of fresh dark flowers lying over blackcurrants, redder plums, half-raw meat, a touch of juniper and clearly finely ground pepper that seduces. Pretty full-bodied wine and fresh Cornas that create lust. Typically tight, yet has a forward-looking and richer style that creates good balance in the wine. Slightly smooth mouthfeel. Typical dark purple fruits, deep salty soils, graphite, espresso, leather, licorice and herbs in the form of clear juniper berries. Good acidity and tannin structure that provides good bite on a long finish. Cornas need cellar time, including this one. But here is a lot to come from 5 - 15 years. Super wine from Paris. 92 points.
