Description
Its name was given for the 2003 vintage; before then, this wine had no specific name, it was simply our “generic” wine. Made with a blend of grapes from several named-localities, it is a starting point from which to discover the domain and the Syrah grape variety grown in Cornas. To reach a stage of plenitude, Les Chailles will require less years of ageing than our other Cornas wines.

This has a lively core of raspberry and bitter cherry coulis flavors, backed by energetic bramble and bay notes. A snap of dried anise and a fine chalky spine enlivens the finish further. Should unfurl with moderate cellaring.

The estate produced two Cornas cuvées in 2014, as well as a terrific St Joseph. Violets, blackberries, black raspberries, crushed rocks and peppery herbs all emerge from the gorgeously pure, balanced, medium-bodied 2014 Cornas les Chailles. It has solid depth of fruit, ripe, polished tannin and a great finish, and it’s already hard to resist.
