A benchmark Cornas from one of the Northern Rhône's most respected families. Les Eygats, their flagship single-vineyard Syrah, is built on incense, black truffle, and blackberry fruit that shows massive structure and extraordinary aging potential. The 2010 is in its drinking sweet spot now, with 15+ years of bottle age adding complexity and polish to the wine's innate power. Cornas at its most serious—demanding, mineral-driven, and built to evolve in your cellar for decades.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"Glass-staining purple. Explosive aromas of blackberry, candied cherry and Asian spices are lifted by a suave floral element. Sweet, lush and intense, with a mineral quality sharpening the intense, palate-staining dark fruit liqueur flavors. Very pure and delineated, finishing with fine-grained tannins, tangy cut and outstanding persistence." -Josh Raynolds

Robert Parker

RP 99
"Flirting with perfection, the 2010 Cornas Les Eygats boasts a fabulous bouquet of incense, subtle smoke, black truffles, pen ink, blackberries and cassis. Massive with sweet tannin as well as an unreal skyscraper-like texture across the mid-palate, this broad, savory, classic Cornas should drink well for 25+ years." -Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Wine Spectator

WS 94
"This has lots of vigorous raspberry and blackberry pâte de fruit flavors, lined liberally with racy chalk and iron notes and backed by bitter cherry, blood orange and anise on the finish. Shows serious cut and detail."
