Notes | |||
"Patou is the top site south of the village of Cornas with decomposed granite and a rich soil that gives supple tannins and perfumed wines. This pure Syrah wine showcases the true soul of Cornas: deeply colored, robustly structured, endlessly satisfying. Black and purple fruits mix with silky tannins and hints of licorice and soy." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Old school goodness all the way, the 2020 Cornas Patou offers up an awesome nose of bloody blue fruits, leather, iron, and violets. This carries to a full-bodied, structured, tannic, yet pure barrel sample that's going benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and keep for two decades. This cuvée comes from 80-year-old vines and is brought up all in older barrels. If you love classic Cornas, give this a whirl." —Jeb Dunnuck |
