Lieux-dits Patou and Saint Pierre, all destemmed, matured for 15 months in old barriques. Soy sauce and bottled ink on the nose. Very ripe, very smooth in mouthfeel, with intense, surging, super-fine tannin. Very long. A concentrated Cornas with remarkable elegance and refinement. Long, straight and highly impressive.
