Domaine Durand Cornas Empreintes 2020

 

Deep red wine from France with the scent of concentrated red fruit and herbs. The taste is full and soft and goes well with high-quality beef or lamb.

 

 

Eric and Joël Durand make this impressive, accessible red cornas from Shiraz grapes. After manual picking, the wine is deliberately aged for about twelve months in used oak casks, not in new, but in used oak casks. The wood dosage is therefore minimal and the aging is intended for stabilization and some evolution of the wine. By the way, the Durand brothers work naturally and the clearance is done with protein.
This cornas is a bit more flexible in style than those of other manufacturers. This allows the wine to be drunk a little younger. However, the most beautiful aging aromas only come after a few years of bottle aging. Tip: decant this beautiful red northern rhône before serving.
