A Cornas which owes its name to the granitic terroir from which it came.
More infoAs you can imagine, this Cornas owes its name to the granite terroir from where it originated. It is here that young vines of Syrah were grown in a sustainable manner and harvested by hand. After destemming, partial destemming and cold maceration (to preserve the freshness and delicacy of the fruity notes), the wine was aged for three months in vats and for one year in used oak barrels (from two to eight years old). On tasting, this wine with an intense ruby hue exudes an aromatic bouquet of great depth of black fruit and spices. Delicious when young, however, it will become more complex after several years and requires gourmet pairings with tasty red meat.

About the Producer Vincent Paris
Vincent Paris is an accomplished Rhône winemaker based at the southern end of the village of Cornas. In 1997, he inherited one hectare of vines from his grandfather marking the beginning of his success story. Ten years later, he acquired La Geynale, a very fine parcel from Robert Michel. Today, he tends ten hectares of vines, mostly in the Cornas appellation, along with some Saint Joseph and Vin de Pays. He cultivates his vines according to sustainable methods, as naturally as possible (without insecticides or chemical fertilisers). The incredible incline of his plots has inspired the names of his cuvées: Granit 30 and Granit 60. Vincent Paris crafts wines of wonderful purity, with luscious, generous fruit, bottles that can be enjoyed both in their youth and after long cellaring. One of many reasons his Cornas receive regular praise from professional critics. This discreet estate is slowly emerging from the shadows, and we encourage you to discover it!
