"Sourced from vines averaging 60 years in age and steeper slopes than the Granit 30, this bottling embodies the meatiness and brawn of Cornas while maintaining a thrilling freshness and mineral edge. Black plum and cassis flavors are ample and fleshy yet offset by crisp acidity and fine, upright tannins. Welcoming already it should develop complexity through 2035 and likely further."

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.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
