Notorious wine since the 10th Century. It has been served on French and foreign Royal tables. Cornas became an Appellation d`Origine Controlé in 1938. For the most part, grapes for this wine come from the locality called "Les Eygats". Located at an altitude of 250m on decomposed granite slopes, the vines are south, south-east facing.

Cold maceration before fermentation to develop the fruit. Maceration and fermentation for 20 days with pumping over during the first few days followed my pumping down. Ageing in 1 and 2 year old casks for 15 months.

Deep red colour. The nose is discreet with aromas of black fruit with great concentration. The mouth is quite tense and very powerful with plenty tannins and a good balance. This wine will age for many years.
