Les Cornas du Domaine![]() Les Ruchets Cornas - 2007
“Les Ruchets (The Beehives) is a vineyard planted with very old Syrah vines - up to 90 years old. This parcel is located in the heart of Cornas surrounded by juniper bushes and live oaks. It benefits from a granitic subsoil and eastern exposure. A “Grand vin” well structured and elegant with the potential to age for many years. Gently matured for two years in oak barrels to release its terroir-driven profile, it offers aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and violet, soft spices and pepper. It truly represents the signature wine of our domaine. The ultimate wine share over dinner with friends and a wine I love to pair with roasted duck rubbed in spices.” Pairing
This wine will match perfectly with steak and most game meats.
