Jerome Despesse - Cornas 2016

100% Syrah

While Jérôme produces an intense and concentrated wine, he is best known for producing an exceptionally well balanced Cornas.  The nose is perfumed with hints of black cherry and cassis.  In the mouth, intense blackberry and plum notes are moderated by hints of spice, and ripe tannins. The wines of Cornas are generally more well know for their wildness, than for their elegance.  Jérôme, however, has does an excellent job of achieving a wine that is sophisticated, without sacrificing any of its typicity.                                                                            Total Production - 125 Cases
