“Ripe red and black fruits, cured meats, leather, pepper, and graphite notes all define the 2022 Cornas Les Chailles, a medium to full-bodied, balanced, serious Cornas that has solid structure, a layered, building mouthfeel, and a great finish. Coming from vines lower on the slopes, it was destemmed and brought up in used barrels. It will benefit from just a few years in the cellar and evolve nicely over the following decade or more. Drink 2027-2037.”
