DOMAINE LIONNET CORNAS TERRE BRULEE 2021

Great tension with underlying flavors of smoked meats, violets and minerals. The wine has a dark tonality with a medicinal accent. The fruit is layered, with a texture marked by firm tannins, and an iron mineral core. This wine displays the essence and grandeur of Cornas: wild, forceful, age-worthy and full of potential.

94 POINTS, Vinous. "A perfumed bouquet evokes fresh black and blue fruits, star anise, olive, violet and tobacco. A smoky mineral accent builds steadily in the glass and energizes the spice-laced, dark berry liqueur, smoky bacon and floral pastille flavors that are underscored by a vein of juicy acidity. Clings with strong tenacity on the youthfully tannic finish, leaving behind sappy blue fruit, cracked pepper and mineral notes."
