Domaine du Tunnel Cornas Vin Noir 2018

102.00 € Tax included

This Cornas Vin Noir 2018 is a red wine from the north of the Rhône Valley made from three slopes of old Syrah vines and aged for 14 months in barrels of three wines, produced by Stéphane Robert of Domaine du Tunnel, one of the very best winemakers of the Cornas appellation.

It has a black colour and rustic aromas of black fruit and undergrowth. On the palate, the attack is round and firm, the tannins silky and the substance very dense, elegant and aromatic with notes of black cherry, toast and cocoa bean. The wines of Cornas require a little time, at least 5 to 7 years, to be able to be tasted and appreciate their complex and harmonious aromatic profile mixing fruit and schist and roasted notes.

This superb cuvée offers great ageing potential, for at least 20 years in the cellar. It is the ideal accompaniment to game, duck breast, a piece of beef, or powerful cheeses such as Langres.

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.
