Starting with what could be considered the entry level cuvée the 2020 Cornas Granit 30 comes from further down the slope from vines closer to the village. That's obviously not a bad thing since this plump full-bodied beautifully textured Cornas has remarkable purity and elegance as well as richness. Blackberries blueberries subtle smoke graphite and violets all emerge from the glass and it has a seamless incredibly elegant texture.
jdConsumers loath to explore Cornas because of ever-increasing prices should consider Vincent Paris's 2020 Cornas Granit 30 when it is released. Hints of violets crushed stone licorice and cassis all appear on the nose of Paris's entry-level cuvée providing ample complexity. A strong effort it's full-bodied ripe and silky in texture with a lingering finish. It may not be classic put-hair-on-your-chest rustic Cornas but it's a delicious mouthful of Syrah that's true to its granitic origins.
