Domaine Courbis Cornas la Sabarotte 2018 - 2018
WINE | RED WINE | RHÔNE | CORNASBottle of : 1.50L
A parcel selection from ancient vines
- Sourced from vines exceeding seventy years of age, this Cornas expresses the depth and complexity that only mature rootstock can deliver. The age of these plants imparts a concentration rarely found in younger plantings.
- The élevage here is restrained and purposeful, allowing the wine's natural structure to emerge without excess oak influence. This measured approach preserves the delicate balance between power and refinement.
- In youth, the wine displays admirable freshness and definition. With time in bottle, it develops a graceful suppleness whilst retaining the bright acidity that characterises the finest northern Rhône expressions.

Product features : Domaine Courbis Cornas la Sabarotte 2018
Breeding
18 months in new oak barrels
On the eye
Deep ruby, almost black at the core, with considerable depth of colour
On the nose
Vanilla and spice notes mingle with aromas of dark berries—blackcurrant and bilberry—creating an inviting and complex bouquet that unfolds gradually in the glass
In the mouth
The palate is frank and direct, with a velvety texture that belies the wine's underlying structure. Fruit-forward on entry, with layers of ripe dark fruit and a lingering finish
This wine pairs excellently with roasted veal kidneys and potato galettes—classic Lyonnaise fare that complements its savoury spice and fruit-driven character. It would equally suit game dishes and mature cheeses. Decant thirty minutes before service to allow the wine to fully express itself.
