Domaine Vincent Paris Cornas Granit 30 2022


The very best factor concerning the wine, although, is the end. Simply because the coolness of the night follows the warmth of the day, the succulence of the mid-palate is adopted by a beautiful mineral vibrancy that pulls you again for extra. You possibly can drink this wine tonight, in just a few years’ time, or you possibly can cellar it for a decade-plus. I feel it’s at all times going to offer you nice pleasure and stay fascinating.

Vincent Paris has been making this model of Cornas for a number of years, and I stumbled upon his wines final 12 months in a big tasting that Inter Rhone, the regional promotion board, organized for us. I used to be prospecting and I hit a nugget of gold! This 12 months I acquired to see the vineyard, which nestles below an enormous photo voltaic panel behind a modest home. There’s nothing fancy concerning the inside, and Vincent is sort of a reserved man who doesn’t blow his personal horn. He’s not serious about working the markets, so the one solution to meet him is to go there.

I like the high-profile producers of the Rhone, and it’s a pleasure to style nice wines in an opulent tasting room, as I did a number of instances this 12 months. Nonetheless, it’s additionally nice that this world co-exists with a down-to-earth vigneron – the French work that actually translated means “winegrower” – like Vincent Paris who has only one aim: to make wines which might be the absolute best expression of his vineyards. And he did it once more! Here’s a syrah from Cornas that’s complicated, unique and chic.
