Limited Time Offer M. Chapoutier Cornas Les Arﾨﾨnes 2019 Fresh Release

The Cornas Les Arﾨﾨnes is part of Chapoutier's Prestige collection, a range of classic Grand Crus that reflect the true essence of their respective Rh?ne Valley appellations. Cornas is made from 100% hand-harvested Syrah grapes which are sourced from the Les Arﾨﾨnes vineyard, part of which is located on decomposing granite, known locally as ﾡﾰgoreﾡﾱ, the other is on alluvial clay-limestone soil. This kind of soil produces powerful, meaty wines with good tannin, whilst the granite adds power and acidity to the wine. After vinification, maturation lasts for 14-16 months with 80% of the wine going into oak barrels (100% French) and the remaining 20% is aged in concrete tanks, which preserves the fruit and minerality. Intense red in colour Les Arﾨﾨnes Cornas displays ripe fruit aromas,?raspberry and blackcurrant jams. On the palate blackberries, spices, morello cherry with dense and tight tannins and long satisfying finish.[#intro]An outstanding wine offering textbook notes of black olives, blackberries, raspberries & peppery herbs...[/intro]
