Domaine Lionnet Cornas is a true classic: firm, sturdy, rigorously tannic, explosively aromatic, complete and satisfying. After the élevage, the wines are assembled to make a single cuvée known as “Terre Brulée”. The bottling takes place after two winters have passed. All work is done by gravity. The wine is never fined nor is it filtered. There is a single bottling of the entire lot.
Similarly deep purple-hued, the 2020 Cornas Terre Brulee has a darker, slightly richer, yet less complex style that also warrants bottle age. Offering more black fruits, scorched earth, burning embers, and ground pepper, it packs serious depth and power on the palate and is full-bodied, has lots of tannins, and a great finish. It's brilliant, but don't think about opening bottles for at least 5-6 years.
