  • Goedhuis, March 2024

    The 60 to 80 year old vines that make up this cuvée sit in the heart of the appellation of Cornas, in four different lieux dits that enjoy the traditional granite soils. In 2022, Lionel used about 15% whole bunch in this cuvee as they managed to attain good ripeness in the vineyard. It saw 20 months ageing with 15% new oak. A tantalising perfume of violets, lavender and blackberry, with touches of bay leaf, black olive and vanilla pod. On the palate, slick tannins provide texture and framework to the fruit. It finishes floral and pure. Drink 2027-2038.

  • Vinous, October 2023, Score: 92-94

    The 2022 Cornas Les Vieilles Vignes is made from grapes grown between 200 and 350 meters of elevation on granitic soils. Powerful and refined, it bursts with intense ripe black fruits, followed by hints of blueberry and traces of cedar, graphite and stemmy subtleties. Ripe yet polished tannins give excellent structure to this full-bodied, savory 2022 Cornas. It was fermented with 20% whole-clusters and is scheduled to mature for 20 months in up to 15% new oak barriques. Drink 2026-2037.

Alain Voge is owed a lot of credit for putting Cornas and St Péray on the fine wine map, thanks to his tireless work from the 1980s up to the 2000s. In his later years he has stepped down from the day to day management, entrusting this firstly to the accomplished Albéric Mazoyer and now to Lionel Fraisse who joined the estate in 2012, and who assumes the full post this year following Albéric’s retirement. Together they have driven the estate to ever-greater heights, in 2016 overseeing the final stage of conversion to certified organic farming. The domaine is rightly proud of the work it has done to champion the pithy, phenolic character of Marsanne grown on St Péray’s limestone and granite soils, and their whites have length and savoury bite. The reds are equally well handled, and are benchmark Cornas – bright Syrah with depth, freshness and a hint of wild hedgerow fruit.Read less

Region

Cornas

This most southerly appellation has long been lost in the shadows by the limelight of its more glamorous neighbours. It has suffered from an archaic (and entrenched) reputation of producing tannic, dense wines that need many years to come around. Yet for a long time, this has not been the case. Many of Cornas' wines are produced from slopes of excellent reputation, known for their well drained steep terrains as well as their sheltered exposures from cold northern winds. Due to this micro-climate of sorts, it usually produces riper wine than the more northern appellations in colder vintages. Cornas is one of the most underestimated appellations which can at times challenge Hermitage.
