Cornas from a sixth-generation vigneronne carrying one of the appellation's most legendary names into a new era. Emmanuelle Verset is one of only two women running a domaine in Cornas, and she farms inherited plots of ancient vines in storied sites like Champelrose, Les Mazards, and Reynard, with an average vine age around 60 years and some over a century old. The granite hillsides here, baked by Northern Rhone sun, give Syrah extraordinary intensity, and Emmanuelle works it traditionally: 100% whole-cluster fermentation, no new oak, organic farming with cover crops. The 2023 is a generous, sturdy vintage. This is serious, savory Cornas that rewards a few hours in a decanter now and will reward patience over the next decade-plus.

Decanter

93 points

"Medium-depth purple colouring. It’s certainly ripe, with some slightly dried- or confit-berry notes and a touch of cassis. It has a good sense of freshness and acidity, with a certain earthiness to the tannins and finish. It’s structured with fairly big tannins, which will be good in time. Typically matured in three- to 10-year-old barrels; 9,000 bottles made."

More about A&E Verset

Emmanuelle Verset came home to Cornas to take the reins from her father, Alain, carrying on a name that still makes wine people whisper. Her great-uncle was the legendary Noël Verset, whose Champelrose parcels came to her, and from her grandfather Louis she inherited vines in Geynale and Les Mazards. She has converted the farming to organics and makes Cornas that tastes like it is made of stone and time and pure intention.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Polaner Selections has to say about this wine:

Vineyard

The vines are located in the heart of Cornas on 5 plots (Mazard, Champelrose, la Côte, les Côtes and a small part of Reynard).

Orientation

East/Southeast-facing

Soil

Granitic bedrock

Viticulture

Practicing organic with emphasis on biodiversity. The grapes are harvested manually.

Vinification

Whole cluster fermentation lasting 2 weeks with manual punching down (in the morning) and pumping over (in the evening). After devatting, the plots are assembled.

Aging

Aged 15 months in 3-8 year-old oak barrels of 225-440L from several French coopers.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled lamb chops, braised short ribs, venison, peppercorn-crusted steak, aged hard cheeses.

Tasting Profile

Deep and savory, with blackberry and black olive over smoky, peppery, almost meaty notes. Full-bodied with firm, grippy tannins and bright acidity. Long, mineral, stony finish.
