Intensity

Granite 60 owes its name to the granite soils and steep slope (60°) of the parcels from which it derives. Its sixty-year-old Syrah vines are carefully cultivated, harvested by hand and destemmed. The grapes are cold-macerated for a week and fermented without external yeasts. Vincent Paris performs punch-downs and pump-overs twice a day. The wine is then matured for 3 months in tanks and oak casks. This Cornas combines power and refinement with notes of black berries, pear, spices and violets. Its full-bodied, round, refined palate has an elegant finish. Its length is remarkable, as is its keeping potential.

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!
