Jean-Denis died in a tragic traffic accident in 2002

surprising elegance

hints of minerality and earth

almost iron-like note on the palate

dark berry and kirsch aromas trimmed in plenty of earth character

Tunnel, Cornas Pur Noir other_regions_italy Jean-Denis died in a tragicThere are only about 700 bottles of Robert's 2017 Cornas Pur Noir, so if this is your jam, you better move quickly to secure some. Smoke and vanilla frame huge blackberry and cassis fruit on the nose, while the full bodied palate is velvety while remaining fresh and lively. Yes, this is a tannic wine, but the tannins are fully ripe, and the wine isn't unapproachable, even now. It should drink well for up to 15 years or so.
