"Classic Cornas, with chewy, meaty, bloody notes of black fruits, lavender, olive tapenade and violets, this beauty has everything you could want from a Syrah from these steep granite slopes. Full-bodied, concentrated and beautifully textured, with integrated acidity and plenty of tannin, drink it anytime over the coming decade or more. To say I was blown away by these new releases from the young Matthieu Barret would be an understatement. Pulling from close to 24 acres in Cornas (which is a sizeable portion) and a wealth of old vines . . . . The Les Terrasses du Serre is a slightly smaller production releases that comes from the lieux-dits les Arlettes, les Reynards and la Patronne. It's aged 18 months in mostly older barrels, but also sees some time in concrete eggs."

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.
