"Bright and intense both in color and in aroma. Hyper-fresh, searching berry fruits, this is electric. Rounded, with plump berry fruits that are concentrated and fresh. The tannins are intense too, grippy and strict on the long finish. This is almost painful to taste at this stage, but should be excellent in time. Vines with an average of 35 years of age, from lieux-dits Saveaux, Patou and Les Côtes, all destemmed and then aged in two- to five-year-old demi-muids. - Matt WALLS"

"Entirely destemmed and matured in used large barrels, the 2022 Cornas wafts from the glass with aromas of dark wild berries, spices, flowers and carnal/animal-like notes. Medium to full-bodied, enrobing and sweet, it's layered with a fleshy core of fruit, velvety tannins and a long, ethereal and pencil lead-inflected finish. This is a stunning Cornas made from Saveaux, Patou and Les Cotes plots, with 40% of the grapes for this wine coming from the foot of the hill. - Yohan CASTAING"

 "Ripe black and blue fruits, violets, sappy herbs, and iron notes all emerge from the 2022 Cornas, a pretty, pure, medium to full-bodied Cornas offering fine, ripe tannins, a balanced, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish. The 2022 was completely destemmed and spent 12 months in oak."

 "Vivid purple-hued, the 2023 Cornas offers notes of black cherries, plums, graphite, liquid violet, and crushed stone. It's medium-bodied, has a concentrated, focused mouthfeel, plenty of tannins, and nicely integrated acidity. It's a beautiful, ultra-classic, mineral-laced Cornas that needs 3-5 years to hit prime time and will cruise over the following 10-15 years. Drink 2029-2044."
