"Burnt Earth"—the flagship Cornas from a family that has grown grapes here since 1575. Corinne Lionnet took over in 2003 when her father Pierre retired; she and husband Ludovic Izérable now farm organically (certified since 2012). Terre Brûlée assembles seven parcels across five lieux-dits—Mazards, Chaillot, Pied de la Vigne, Combe, Eygas—with vines ranging from 40 to over 100 years old. Indigenous yeast fermentation, no additives whatsoever, never destemmed. Cornas is the Northern Rhône's smallest appellation; this is how the Lionnet family has made it for four centuries.

"The 2022 Cornas Terre Brulee, crafted from several plots situated mainly in the north of the appellation, is seamless and complete, bursting with pure aromas of iris, violet, gentian and dark berries. Full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a layered, enveloping core of fruit, it's framed by structured, youthful tannins and a long, mineral and slightly firm finish. Its delicate austerity should mellow with time in the cellar. This is an impressive effort!" —Yohan Castaing

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.
