Domaine Lionnet doesn’t do modern Cornas. No new oak, no destemming, no chasing polish. Just whole-cluster Syrah, native fermentations, long macerations, and aging in old barrels. The result is a wine that feels carved from stone—intensely savory, textured, and deeply rooted in place.

The 2021 vintage of Terre Brûlée shows the cooler edge of Cornas, with tension and freshness layered into its dark, brooding core. It’s not flashy—there’s no glycerol sheen or plush fruit here. Instead, you get cracked pepper, smoked meat, crushed herbs, and the crunch of stemmy grip. It starts narrow, then unfurls slowly, with a coiled energy that promises years of evolution.

This is for lovers of Syrah with structure, edge, and zero artifice. Pair it with slow-cooked lamb, grilled mushrooms, or a decanter and a long evening. For those who lean toward Gonon, Allemand, or the wilder corners of the Northern Rhône, Lionnet belongs firmly in the rotation.

"Youthful purple. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh black and blue fruits, star anise, olive, violet and tobacco. A smoky mineral accent builds steadily in the glass and energizes the spice-laced, dark berry liqueur, smoky bacon and floral pastille flavors that are underscored by a vein of juicy acidity. Clings with strong tenacity on the youthfully tannic finish, leaving behind sappy blue fruit, cracked pepper and mineral notes." —Josh Raynolds

More about Lionnet

Corinne Lionnet and Ludovic Izerable tend 2.2 hectares of steep Cornas vineyards where some vines are over a century old. The family has been growing grapes on these slopes since 1575. Organically farmed, aged in large oak, no new wood—their Syrah is a study in what patience and respect for terroir can yield.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine:

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. We have been buying the wines of the Domaine Lionnet since the 2004 vintage. Their Cornas is a true classic: firm, sturdy, rigorously tannic, explosively aromatic, complete and satisfying. We are indebted to Bernard Levet for his wise counsel in leading us to the doorstep of the formidable Domaine Lionnet in Cornas. We have the privilege of purchasing 24,00 bottles and 90 magnums per vintage.
