    The wine

    This cuvée is made from Syrah from the plots of land located on the right bank of the Rhône, near Valence. Cornas is blessed with an ideal micro-climate to cultivate the domain's old Syrah vines. These grow in very poor soil where rocks surface. The bunches are harvested by hand, destemmed then crushed. They are then vinified in thermo-regulated stainless-steel vats. Extraction gives the wine its beautiful hue. There is numerous and regular pump-over and maceration can last almost a month. The wine is then aged in new barrels and malolactic fermentation takes place in new barriques. After 18 months’ ageing, the wine is bottled. Dominique and Laurent produce 5,000 bottles like this every year and the wine is perfect for keeping.

    Information about domain Vincent Paris

    Vincent Paris is an accomplished Rhône winemaker based at the southern end of the village of Cornas. In 1997, he inherited one hectare of vines from his grandfather marking the beginning of his success story. Ten years later, he acquired La Geynale, a very fine parcel from Robert Michel. Today, he tends ten hectares of vines, mostly in the Cornas appellation, along with some Saint Joseph and Vin de Pays. He cultivates his vines according to sustainable methods, as naturally as possible (without insecticides or chemical fertilisers). The incredible incline of his plots has inspired the names of his cuvées: Granit 30 and Granit 60. Vincent Paris crafts wines of wonderful purity, with luscious, generous fruit, bottles that can be enjoyed both in their youth and after long cellaring. One of many reasons his Cornas receive regular praise from professional critics. This discreet estate is slowly emerging from the shadows, and we encourage you to discover it!
