Domaine Dumien Serrette Henri Cornas Syrah 2020

In Celtic, Cornas means “burnt earth,” which tells you volumes about the dry, warm conditions on these steeply graded stopes. Soils are primarily granite; vineyards are small and challenging to cultivate, given the abrupt drops and eroded faces of many of Cornas’ hillsides. This very limited selection is the heart and soul of the estate, a tribute to the winemaker’s grandfather Henri, who would have been 100 years old in 2013, the very first vintage of this wine. A strict selection of the estate’s oldest Syrah vines in ‘Patou,’ aged in older French oak barrels for nearly two years.
