Cornas is a special wine region within the Rhone Valley. It is also called the black sheep of the region. The fact is that the wines from Cornas in the 18th century had a very good reputation. Now, areas such as Hermitage and Cote Rotie have surpassed this area. It is not that this area has no potential. Just like in other areas, there is no producer with an unparalleled reputation. The wines are made from Syrah and are sturdy. That is why the wines have to mature for at least 10 years in the bottle after bottling to get a good complexity and taste. If you search well you can get nice wines from this region at a reasonable price.
