2007 Cornas Les Terrases du Serre

The 2007 Cornas Les Terrasses du Serre reveals an impressive black/ruby color as well as a classic bouquet of crushed rocks, flowers, blackberries, new saddle leather, and hints of licorice and pepper. Surprisingly round and generous with impressive concentration, this wine should drink well for a decade. (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.
