Cornas Nouvelle R Domaine Guillaume Gilles 2023
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.
Nouvelle R is Gilles' newest cuvée — a more accessible expression of Cornas from younger vines, designed for earlier drinking. The 2023 shows fresh violet, dark cherry and pepper with lighter tannins and a vibrant, mineral-edged finish. A great introduction to this exceptional estate.
