Domaine du Tunnel 2011 Cornas
A standout expression of Cornas, the 2011 vintage is rich, powerful and beautifully textured, combining intense cassis and dark berry fruit with notes of cracked pepper, woodland undergrowth and earthy complexity. Aged for 15 months in one- and two-year-old barrels, it retains remarkable purity of fruit, with freshness and energy providing balance to its voluptuous, full-flavoured character. The palate builds in depth, supported by firm, developing tannins and an impressively long finish. Generous yet finely defined, this is a compelling Cornas with the structure to reward further bottle ageing.
From his small cellar in Saint-Péray, proprietor Stéphane Robert has established a reputation for producing outstanding wines in the northern Rhône. Depending on the vintage, he crafts up to three different Cornas cuvées, alongside four white wines from Saint-Péray and a serious, characterful Saint-Joseph.
