Tasting notes
Leading off the wines from bottle, rocking levels of blackberries, smoked earth, and crushed stone emerge from the 2022 Cornas Granit 30, which is shockingly dark and gamey for a 2022, which tend to be more perfumed and almost red-fruited. It has lots of tannins as well, but terrific mid-palate depth and ample texture. Drink 2025-2037.

Fermented with 5% whole bunches, the 2022 Cornas Granit 30 reveals a floral, lively bouquet of mulberries, cassis and spices mingled with meaty notes. Medium-bodied, juicy and supple, it's enveloping with a firm chassis of tannins and a short finish.
The 2022 Cornas Granit 30 offers savory notes of dried meat, cedar, blackberry, black cherry and a hint of iodine. Medium-bodied and well-structured, the 2022 is lean and elegant. This is a classy Cornas that brims with character. The 2022 will benefit from at least two more years in bottle.
100% destemmed, cold maceration for one week then fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Three weeks’ maceration with two pumpovers daily; aged in oak barrels, none new. Cask sample. Tasted blind. Youthful nose that has an inky feel to it, intense and dense. A real whack of acidity on the attack is followed by a wave of cool, medium-weight blue fruit and spice. A moderate finish. (AC)
