Vincent Paris Cornas Granit 30

This Cornas from 15 + yo vines is grown on 30% gradient granite and is aged for just 3 months in old foudres the better to showcase juicy blackberry fruit with crunch and minerality drawing it in to a beautifully long and appetising finish. The pure Syrah is polished and peppery with hugely intense dark berry fruit. Whilst it's quite a restrained style of Cornas, that peppery spice makes it the perfect seasoning for any big red meat dish or slow-cooked stew.

The name Cornas Granit 30 describes the appellation (one of the Rhône Valley’s finest), the soil type and the angle of the slope. Pure Syrah is polished and peppery with hugely intense dark berry fruit. Whilst it's quite a restrained style of Cornas, that peppery spice makes it the perfect seasoning for any big red meat dish or slow-cooked stew.

Vincent Paris has been making Cornas for a couple of decades but this still makes him one of the newbies. He started with just one hectare and has been quietly building. As quite a shy character, he lets the wine do the talking and his wines shout. So much so that they’ve caught the attention of wine critics and a couple of three Michelin starred restaurants.
