Pichon Cornas All Gorie 2020

Christophe Pichon's Cornas All*gorie 2020 is a distinguished red wine from the Cornas appellation in the Northern Rh*ne Valley, France. Sourced from a mere one-hectare vineyard planted in 1940, the vines thrive on steep, granite-rich slopes, contributing to the wine's depth and complexity. The 2020 vintage is crafted exclusively from 100% Syrah grapes.

After meticulous hand-harvesting, the wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging for 14 months in French oak barrels, ranging from new to three years old. Tasting Notes: Appearance: Deep ruby with violet highlights. Nose: Intense aromas of wild blackberry, blueberry, and violet, complemented by smoky, peppery, and leathery undertones.

Hints of garrigue herbs and licorice emerge as it opens up. Palate: Powerful and structured, with firm yet well-integrated tannins. The mouthfeel is mineral and precise, showcasing ripe black fruits, spices, and a long, balsamic-tinged finish. Food Pairing: This wine pairs beautifully with wild boar stew, dry-aged ribeye steak, roast leg of lamb, or duck breast in pepper sauce.

It also complements aged hard cheeses such as Salers or Laguiole Cellaring Potential: 8 to 15 years. Decant in its youth to fully reveal its complexity. Technical Details: Bottle Size: 750ml Alcohol: 14% Grape Variety: 100% Syrah Region: Cornas, Northern Rh*ne, France
