Cornas Champelrose Courbis 2010 is a Syrah from the Northern Rhône, crafted by Domaine Courbis. This wine emerges from the Champelrose vineyard, which features granite soils that contribute to its mineral structure. The 2010 vintage, marked by a warm yet balanced growing season, yields a wine with dense dark fruits, a hint of smoke and floral undertones. Aged for 14 months in oak barrels, with 25% new wood, it maintains focus on fruit purity and showcases structured tannins alongside a finish characterised by cracked black pepper and olives.
94 Robert Parker
The 2010 Cornas Champelrose exhibits a black/purple color along with a floral note, and a terrific, full-bodied texture with gorgeous ripeness, purity and expansiveness. This savory, full-throttle, compelling Cornas will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and drink well for two decades or more.

One of the most quality conscious estates in the Northern Rhone, Domaine Courbis produces a trio of vineyard designated Cornas as well as two cuvees of impressive St.-Joseph. After the brilliant success of their 2009 vintage, I thought it would be difficult for this estate to equal what they achieved, but the 2010s are all stunning, and the 2011s are not far behind. The Courbis family has nearly 48 acres in St.-Joseph and another 20 in Cornas, making them a relatively impressive family-owned estate. The Cornas vineyards are planted in decomposed granite soils with little top soil. The Cornas Les Eygats emerges from what the Courbis brothers feel is their greatest micro-climate, from a terraced vineyard composed of broken granite, planted at an altitude of 250 meters.

Inky ruby. Sexy, mineral-accented aromas of red fruit liqueur, violet and spicecake. Lithe and precise on the palate, offering vibrant black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a hint of licorice. Quite elegant for the vintage. Finishes tangy and long, with clarity, focus and silky tannins.Josh Raynolds1st March 2013
