2020 Cornas, Domaine de Saint Pierre, Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aîné, Rhône
Description
Deeply coloured, a blanket of black raspberry petals and violets envelope the nose, amid a richness of chocolate coated blueberries. A velvety textured palate showcases concentrated forest berries at its centre, offset by a graphite acidity. Fabulous structure here which is supremely balanced, the core of the wine is suave and supple, the finish long and fresh, it’s a great success which will warrant a few years in the cellar, recommended to enjoy from 2024 - 2034.

Critics reviews
Situated near the top of the Cornas appellation, the 2020 Cornas Domaine de Saint Pierre features enticing scents of crushed stone and ripe blueberries. Medium to full-bodied, it comes across as richer and more concentrated than Jaboulet's domaine wines from Crozes this year yet still reasonably suave and approachable.
Drink 2023 - 2033
Less typically Cornas but attractive fruit and freshness. Cherry notes on the nose with a creamy edge and light, fine tannins.
Drink 2023 - 2028
