Cornalin
SKU AMCO
Produced in miniscule quantities (one single 400-liter barrel per vintage) from a parcel planted in the sandy granite soils of Fully, Alexandre’s Cornalin is a near-dead-ringer for great old-school Cornas; black olive tapenade, savory spices, and a blitzkrieg of black pepper confront the taster with eager ferocity, and the palate follows through with a sizzling combination of vibrant black fruits and lively but balanced tannins. Alexandre’s inclusion of 70% whole clusters reinforces the wine’s Cornas-like profile.
