The 2021 Cornas Granit 60 is a terrific result from this challenging vintage. Slightly reductive at first, swishing the glass gradually unlocks a red-fruited profile. Leafy undertones, forest floor and cured meat elements add more contrast. Medium-bodied, concentrated and remarkably refreshing, the 2021 finishes on a savory note.

Mar 28th, 2024Opaque violet color. Highly fragrant cherry and dark berry preserve and olive aromas show outstanding clarity and are complemented by smoky mineral and spice accents. Deeply pitched blackcurrant and bitter cherry flavors convey a suave blend of power and finesse; a pastille flourish adds complexity. Shows impressive energy and mineral thrust on an impressively long, youthfully tannic finish that leaves behind notes of candied flowers and juicy dark berries. One-third whole clusters this vintage.

Classic Northern Rhone. Ripe Black currant, smoked meat and allspice. Medium weight, and grippy tannins with plenty of acidity on the finish.

Black fruit, olive tapenade, mineral (or granite as the name suggests). Round tannins, very expressive fruit. Elegant and beautifully balanced.

Highly expressive, structure, smooth tannins, blackberry, black raspberry, spices, incense, hints of smoked meats come initially, continuing to coffee and dark chocolate. No decant needed.

Gorgeous deep ruby, richly textured aroma with layers of smoke, meat, stony granite minerality and black fruit. Wonderfully complex flavors, long finish - terrific wine and while time will be good to this wine it is already showing well
