Jaboulet Les Grandes Terrasses Cornas 2020 750 ML

Les Grandes Terrasses is named for the extremely steep terraces supported by small dry stone walls that overlook the Rhone Valley. These parcels on the South-facing slopes of the hill behind the village of Cornas have soil of decomposed granite called gore and produce rich, full-bodied wines. The Syrah vines are 20 to 60 years old. The grapes are hand-harvested, sorted, destemmed (100%) and crushed. The maceration lasts for 3 to 4 weeks with daily pump overs. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, 20% of which are new. Potential to age up to 15 years.
