This is the second of the domaine’s signature cuvées (the other is Cornas Les Chailles). It comes from, unsurprisingly, the old vines which are planted further up the slopes at altitudes ranging from 250-400m. Small amounts of whole bunch fruit (20%) add freshness and silkiness. It shows old vine intensity, with density and precision in its notes of tapenade and cassis.
Bay leaf and olive aromas, both black and green. It has body and juice on the palate, but retains a herbal vein that runs through into the finish. It's a grippy Cornas that's highly textural. May well score higher once in bottle.
