2022 Lionnet Cornas Pure Granit Caros Wines NZ

A serious label from a boutique producer in Cornas. Expertly run by the current generation, Domaine Lionnet has been in family hands for more than 400 years! This wine is from a special southeast-facing one-hectare parcel of Syrah in the vineyard of Saint-Pierre, at 380 meters altitude. The combination of high altitude and pure granite soil yields a taut, racy Cornas of remarkable focus and mineral purity. This energetic and vivacious wine offers a slightly more easygoing counterpart to the Lionnet’s Terre Brûlée. A magnificent Cornas for the price
