Cornas L'Elégance du Caillou Julien Pilon 2021

The wine

Julien Pilon has produced a particularly deep, concentrated Cornas. Its intensely fruity bouquet enlivens a well-rounded, fresh palate which will work wonders with a character-filled dish of meat cooked with aromatic herbs.

About the Producer Julien Pilon

After learning the winemaker's craft in various vineyards in the Roussillon region and Spain, Julien Pilon returned to his native Condrieu. Since 2010, he has been producing white Saint-Joseph using grapes which he buys in and then vinifies in his own cellar in Condrieu. In addition to buying 7 hectares of grapes, he has 1.5 hectares of his own vines. These white grape varieties (Marsanne and Roussanne) grow on local granite soils and produce wines of great finesse which are also very precise.
