Domaine du Tunnel Cornas 2012

Domaine du Tunnel Cornas 2012

42.90 € Tax included

This Cornas 2012 allows us to approach Stéphane Robert's wines with a beautiful and colourful and concentrated wine, dense and suave and with a strong fruit.

You can enjoy it now with beautiful red meat or game or better, show a little patience and wait until 2020 for it to reach its full potential.

Domaine du Tunnel was created in 1994 by Stéphane and Sandrine Robert and owes its name to the old stone tunnel that borders the vineyard for 160 metres. Work in the vineyard is done manually, with a winch in the steepest plots, and a little with the horse on some accessible vines.
