Cornas
Rhône ValleyCornas is a red wine produced in the Rhône region of France. It is made primarily in the town of Cornas, situated in the Rhône Valley between Valence and Lyon. The vineyards of Cornas are planted on steep, rocky terrain, which imparts considerable aromatic complexity to the wines.
Cornas wines are produced principally from the Syrah grape variety. The winemakers of Cornas have developed a distinctive vinification method that yields elegant, concentrated wines. Cornas wines are typically aged in oak barrels, which contributes aromas of dark fruits, liquorice, and pepper.
Cornas wines are generally regarded as age-worthy wines, capable of developing over many years in the cellar. They are equally valued for their aromatic complexity and persistence on the palate. Cornas wines pair well with substantial dishes such as red meats and aged cheeses.
The Cornas region is also renowned for its cultural and historical heritage. The town is surrounded by numerous medieval castles and churches, as well as charming villages. Hikers and cyclists alike can take advantage of the magnificent landscapes offered by the Rhône Valley.
