Cornas Domaine Guillaume Gilles 2022
Guillaume Gilles is one of Cornas' most exciting young producers, farming his granite terraces with a patience that belies his age. His Syrahs are concentrated yet refined — pure expressions of this volcanic appellation's dark intensity and capacity for graceful evolution.
The 2022 Gilles Cornas, from a warmer vintage, is more opulent than the 2021 but no less authentic. Rich blackberry jam, leather, pepper and dark florals fill the nose. Full-bodied and warming, with firm granite tannins giving structure to a long, complex finish. Outstanding.
