This Cornas is made from recently planted Syrah vines and will show off the boldness of its vintage after some cellaring. A wine to watch in vintages to come!

  • Deep, blackish red with a startlingly opulent nose suggestive of dark fruits, violets, anise, wood, vanilla, and dark chocolate, but with a powerful overlay of honey. The sort of wine you can happily linger over before the first sip. The attack is surprisingly soft, but that’s followed by a rush of grippy tannins masking rich, dark fruit, and then a protracted finish that leaves more delicate tannins dancing on the tongue. An extraordinary juxtaposition of power and delicacy. Simply beautiful wine. Hard to resist now, but likely to handsomely repay cellaring.

    Food pairing: Steak with black pepper, olives, or shiitake or porcini mushrooms; venison; duck; rabbit or other game or fowl; terrine; grilled eggplant; lamb; veal chops with morels

  • Bold and elegant, with rich flavors of blackberry, violets, and clove. Attractive, with savory flavors and a finish like the season finale of your favorite TV show—you just don’t want it to end. Drink now or through 2019. This wine will keep.

    Food pairing: Wild game

The Creator of This Wine

Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet

Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet

After 30 years overseeing the famous Paul Jaboulet Aîné vineyards, Philippe Jaboulet decided it was time for a change. Taking 37 acres (15 hectares) of the old family business, he teamed up with his son Vincent to combine it with 37 acres of new land -- creating the new Domaine Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet.
