Vincent Paris's wines, which are always bottled on the relatively early side, are deceptively forward on release (except for the La Geynale) but I have had great luck holding on to them, even from generally less age-worthy vintages like 2012 and 2011...Given Paris’s connection to his uncle, the retired and semi-legendary Robert Michel, from whom he acquired many of his holdings, famously the La Geynale, many people will no doubt compare his wines to those that Michel made. Paris’s wines are quite different, with more polish and greater immediate appeal, but no new oak is used here, and while the wines are indeed fruit-driven, they are by no means made in an international style.

VINCENT PARIS
Cornas Granit 60 Vieilles Vignes 2021

Rhône Valley, France 512699 | 6x750ml | Spec $94.98* * Suggested retail price				- 92 Points - Decanter, September 2022 Fresh blueberry and blackberry, this has good volume in the mouth; the fruit is ripe, and the tannins are intense and quite strict, a touch on the dry side. Lots to enjoy here, and it should age with interest, though texturally it is a bit rough-and-ready. 70% destemmed, made using natural yeasts, and aged in recent but not new barrels.

VINCENT PARIS
Saint-Joseph "Les Côtes" 2021

Rhône Valley, France 168047 | 6x750ml | Spec $62.48* * Suggested retail price				- 93 Points - The WIne Front, No mistaking this for anything other than Northern Rhone! Incredibly vivid purple colour also of note. Fresh blackberry, charcuterie, black pepper, dried herbs and flowers. It’s medium-bodied, firm almost frisky ‘glassy’ acidity, smoky and meaty, crushed rocks, distinctly tangy, but encased in boysenberry and fresh picked blackberry. Vibrant. Tight and slate-y to close. You have to like them gamey and spicy, but excellent wine here, in that sort of style.
