The wine

This classic and complex Cornas has an opulent, textured palate enveloped in luscious deep black cherry flavours, with subtle spice, mineral and delicate oak notes. A wine of great finesse with a long, exquisite finish. Les Eygats sits on the limestone-influenced side of Cornas, which gives it a little more perfume and lift than the pure granite parcels. One of two Cornas cuvees the brothers make.

The producer

Domaine Courbis

View all Domaine Courbis wines

Domaine Courbis dates from the sixteenth century and has passed from father to son since the start of the twentieth. It is run today by two brothers: Laurent makes the wine, Dominique manages the 41 hectares of vineyard.

The holdings are enviable: eight hectares in Cornas, five in Saint-Joseph Blanc and nineteen in Saint-Joseph Rouge, in the communes of Châteaubourg and Cornas. The vines are planted on steep granite hillsides, which is where northern Rhône Syrah finds its best expression.

The wines combine modern vinification with traditional viticulture, and are polished without losing the savoury, mineral grip that granite gives. Les Eygats and La Sabarotte are the two Cornas cuvees, and both reward keeping.
