From the south-facing Patou vineyard where some vines exceed 100 years, this traditional Cornas captures the essence of Northern Rhône Syrah. Made with partial whole-cluster fermentation and aged two years in well-used barrels, the wine shows pronounced aromas of blood orange, licorice, black cherry, pencil shaving, and crushed violets. Medium to full-bodied, it balances precision with power—refreshing cherry and wild herb notes offset by firm tannins and peppery spice. A gorgeous wine in its youth, built for graceful maturation.

"Even at this early stage, the 2023 Cornas Patou is gorgeous. Pronounced blood orange, licorice, black cherry, pencil shaving and discreet cedar are all intensified. Crushed violets add a floral nuance. Medium- to full-bodied and super refreshing, the 2023 carries spot-on balance and is shaping up to be a serious follow-up to the promising 2022." —Nicolas Greinacher

More about Dumien-Serrette

Nicolas Serrette tends a throwback 4-acre Cornas vineyard with vines going back to the 1920s—some exceed 100 years. He treads his organic grapes by foot, uses an old-fashioned basket press, ferments on indigenous yeasts in cement tanks, and ages in older French oak. This is pure Syrah, deeply colored and robustly structured—the true soul of Cornas.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Bowler Wine has to say about this wine:

100% Syrah. Made with partial whole-cluster fermentation. Aged two years in two to seven year-old barrels. "Patou" is the top site south of the village of Cornas with decomposed granite and a rich soil that gives supple tannins and perfumed wines. The oldest vines are 100 years old!
