On the right bank of the Rhône River, the vineyard is located on the eastern slope of the Massif Central, in the commune of Cornas, near the small chapel of Saint Pierre. The steep south-facing slopes form a natural amphitheater that protects the vines from cold winds.
The ancient Cornas vineyard dates back to antiquity, with its first stone walls believed to be of Roman origin.
A full bodied, yet elegant Cornas, with a fresh, spicy bouquet of raspberry, Morello cherry and subtle smoky notes. Beautifully structured, with supreme balance and a long, supple finish.

Situated near the top of the Cornas appellation, the 2020 Cornas Domaine de Saint Pierre features enticing scents of crushed stone and ripe blueberries. Medium to full-bodied, it comes across as richer and more concentrated than Jaboulet's domaine wines from Crozes this year yet still reasonably suave and approachable.
