Cornas
Cornas Wine - Buy Wine from the Cornas Region of France
Cornas, lying on the west bank of the river Rhône, just north of Valence is home to a handful of dedicated vignerons and just one grape – Syrah. Blessed with a microclimate, terroir and grape variety that induce hefty tannins, Cornas is a dense, uncompromising wine that appreciates bottle-age – especially in superior vintages. Auguste Clape, ably assisted by his son, Pierre, is the undisputed master of the appellation, making wine of world renown, and those looking for a welcoming introduction into this rewarding but often misunderstood appellation might do well to start with Jean-Louis Thiers’, attractive, mid-weight Cornas.
