TASTING NOTES

This Domaine Alain Verset Cornas 2021 is your new favorite for savoring rich, smoky evenings. Bursting with juicy blackberry and cherry flavors, it’s layered with savory hints of cured meat and a whisper of floral elegance. The firm tannins and lively acidity keep it fresh and inviting, while a subtle minerality gives it that classic Northern Rhône edge.

Crafted on steep slopes in the heart of Cornas and nurtured with regenerative farming, this Syrah is as thoughtful as it is powerful. The traditional whole-cluster fermentation and aging in gently used oak bring a balance of structure and finesse, making it approachable now but built to age beautifully.

Pair it with grilled meats or game for a memorable night that invites you to slow down and savour the moment—whether that’s an intimate dinner or a cozy gathering with friends.

Scores

/100

The classic 2021 Cornas mingles cured meat subtleties with leafy nuances and ripe red fruits. Medium-bodied and framed by ripe yet gently polished tannins, the 2021 hits the palate with good concentration and intensity. Fleshy and full of character, it can be enjoyed right out of the gate but carries sufficient structure and concentration for extended bottle-aging." - 91 Points, Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous
