Critics Ratings

‘Glossy, rich thick fruit, lifted medicinal notes. A touch acetic, perhaps, but all in keeping with the Cornas style.’ – Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Sep 2018)

‘Inky ruby. Ripe blackberry and cherry compote aromas are complemented by suggestions of peppery spices, licorice and violet. Taut, sharply focused black and blue fruit flavors show very good delineation, and a smoky mineral element adds lift and back-end cut. Fine-grained tannins add subtle grip to a spicy, floral-dominated finish that hangs on with strong tenacity.’ – Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 92/100 (Apr 2018)

‘Can a Cornas be too easy to drink? That's the only possible complaint with the 2016 Cornas from Stéphane Robert. Aromas of crushed stones, baking spices and red plums lead into a medium to full-bodied wine that's plump and silky on the palate, with a lingering berry-tea finish.’ – Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Oct 2018)
