Plenty of red fruit with a fun earthiness. I'm down.

A very approachable, supple Cornas. Very good though with a gamey, slightly Bretty nose blowing off to reveal beautiful fruit and spice. As is often the case, Chapoutier hits the spot.

2012 - Tight and structured with firm tannins. Finish was a bit short.

The 2018 vintage, still young but with all the signs of a good bottle to cellar for a few more years; enjoyable now though, especially after proper aeration. Powerful Syrah at the moment.

Deep ruby, black raspberry and plum, vanilla, black pepper, spicy. Nice balance of acid, tannin and alcohol. Needs to decant a little to open up. At Chez Janou

Nice clean Syrah. Vibrant red fruit. Medium body, soft tannins.
