Domaine Vincent Paris La Geynale – Cornas – Red – 2024:

 

Cornas La Geynale: Vincent Paris’ Northern Rhône Masterpiece

Sourced from the revered, south-facing La Geynale lieu-dit, this Domaine Vincent Paris Cornas Rouge is an exceptional expression of 100% Syrah. It represents the pinnacle of the Cornas appellation, delivering a wine of immense structure, aromatic complexity, and profound ageing potential. This is a must-have for any serious collector of fine Rhône.

Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• Appearance: A deep, almost impenetrable black-red.
• Bouquet: Intensely aromatic, revealing concentrated black fruits (damson, blackcurrant), a signature hint of violet, crushed black peppercorns, and nuances of smoky bacon and dark chocolate from the long ageing process.
• Taste: Full-bodied and concentrated, with powerful, racy tannins that are beautifully integrated and silken. The wine is perfectly balanced by a striking minerality, culminating in a seemingly endless finish.

Food Pairing & Serving

Given the wine’s intensity and age-worthiness, a significant period of rest in the cellar is advised. For current drinking, decant well to allow the complex aromas to unfold.

• Serving Temperature: 17-18°C.
• Recommended Cellar Time: 10 to 30 years.
