Note di degustazione
The most concentrated, seriously structured, backward cuvee is the 2007 Cornas Billes Noires. Displaying enormous potential, it offers an opaque purple color along with a perfume of graphite, pen ink, blackberries, bouquet garni, and roasted meats. This enormously-endowed, full-bodied, dense, chewy wine should evolve for 15 or more years. (Not yet released) Proprietor Matthieu Barret is another member of Cornas’ younger generation of producers who have embraced the use of smaller barrels as well as more sanitary vinification techniques. The results are wines imbued with good purity, sweeter tannins, appellation typicity, and more approachable styles that retain 15 or more years of aging potential.

Top slope with very thin topsoil. 20- to 40-year-old vines, so middle-aged in vine terms. Very windy so yields are usually less than 15 hl/ha. Very mineral, almost menthol/eucalyptus nose. Very dry and for the moment austere. (JR)
