Wine Notes
Cornas has been growing in popularity and reputation over the last 15 years and the price has increased to reflect this which is a real shame. We say this because Cornas needs time to settle and most loose bottles are only sold in the newer releases. Getting to know Cornas from well-aged vintages will provide a much better understanding of what this region and style has to offer.
Producer Notes
Jaboulet is famous for its Hermitage La Chapelle which has a tendency to rival some of the top Bordeaux in its complexity and array of flavours. The 25 other appellations they produce wine from, although less famous, should by no means be forgotten. Domaine de Thalabert and St Pierre Cornas are high on the list of great value wines.
