“(The only one of these 2000s aged in Dominique Laurent's magic casks; bottled four days before my visit.) Bright medium ruby, less saturated than the Cornas Vieilles Vignes. Pure, complex aromas of cassis, gunflint, licorice, espresso and bitter chocolate, with a touch of new oak showing. Very ripe but withdrawn, and less expressive today than the Cornas. But aristocratic and very intensely flavored. Slow-building, very long finish features strong but smooth tannins.”

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
Produces some of the world's most powerful and long-lived Syrah from a single granite hill, yielding dense, structured reds and rich whites.
