Les Cornas du Domaine![]() La Louvée Cornas - 2007“La Louvée (The She-Wolf) is a vineyard planted of very old Syrah vines - up to 70 years old, protected by a forest of cedar and live oak trees. The parcel is located in the heart of the Cornas granitic slope and benefits from a south-east facing exposure. After aging for two years in oak barrels, La Louvée evolves as a delicate and elegant wine with aromas of raspberry, blueberry, violets and chocolate, ginger-bread notes ending by a distinct minerality. A concentrated wine which will age for up to 20 years or more and that I love to match with a pot roasted pheasant or pigeon.” Pairing
A Cornas which matches perfectly beef, black gamey meat, truffles and ceps.
Awards
"This is packed, with dark fig and raspberry ganache notes all richly layered with bittersweet cocoa, aged tobacco, loam and iron. The long, muscular finish will need time to stretch out. " - Wine Spectator, 94 points
