Experience the 2014 Domaine Lionnet Cornas "Terre Brulee" by Domaine Lionnet. This exceptional wine is crafted in the heart of Rhône Valley, France, benefitng from the local terroir.
"Hand harvested and organically farmed plantings (40 to 100 years old) in several notable Cornas vineyards are all blended into this single flagship cuvée “Terre Brulée”: Mazards, with 50-year-old vines in granite-inflected soils of clay-limestone, is dark and powerful; Chaillot contributes classic granitic heft and dusty spice; clay-limestone Pied de la Vigne, which flanks Chaillot’s eastern edge, provides structural rigor; and Combe, the southernmost lieu-dit in the appellation, comprises sandy granite soils which give rounder, more voluptuous fruit and overtly floral aromas. Aged entirely in well-used 600-liter demi-muids, the resulting wine is a Cornas of immense concentration, deep, meaty aromatics, intense effusive spiciness, and a bristling tension that beckons for a bit of patience but is thrilling in its vibrancy."
