Rare Cornas - only 125 cases made!



Yes, only 125 cases made for the world!
We only have 3 cases!

The vines, planted by Jérôme’s grandfather, are next to the vineyards of the well-known producer August Clape and they are 50 years old!  100% Syrah

2010 Domaine J. Despesse Cornas...$49.99
Tightly coiled for now, with a gutsy core of blackberry, black currant and bitter plum notes held in check by broad, tarry tannins. Offers loads of dark olive, fresh espresso and singed iron accents that course through the finish, where the dark fruit echoes. Best from 2016 through 2025. 125 cases made. –JM
Rated 93/100 The Wine Spectator
