The Wine:
The vines are located in the heart of Cornas on 5 plots (Mazard, Champelrose, la Côte, les Côtes and a small part of Reynard). Whole cluster fermentation lasting 2 weeks with manual punching down (in the morning) and pumping over (in the evening). After devatting, the plots are assembled. Aged 15 months in 3-8 year-old oak barrels of 225-440L from several French coopers.

The flagship Cornas from Emmanuelle Verset has a complex nose of blackberries and cherries, with toasty, smoky and floral aromas. The mouth is marked by the presence of tannins with a lovely freshness.
