Tasting Note

The Cornas has a very deep ruby colour with violet hues. The nose shows aromas of cherry and raspberry with a touch of pepper. On the palate, the tannins are smooth but structured with flavours of roasted nuts and pepper complementing the dark fruit on the finish.

Product Notes

Domaine du Tunnel Cornas wine is a richly expressive blend emanating from the Cornas region in France, renowned for its superb quality wines. This particular vinous gem possesses a splendid mix of intense, dark fruits with a hint of spice, belaying its time spent in oak barrels. A reserve offering a rounded structure with formidable tannins, it's unmissable for its complex layers of flavours. Full-bodied and generous, this wine is harmoniously balanced, epitomising the classic Northern Rhone Syrah. It demands longevity, improving over years of cellar-ageing. Exquisite with robust meats, it's a stellar accompaniment to an epicurean feast.

The impeccable craftsmanship of Robert, combined with the organic and sustainable practices implemented, culminate in wines that are acclaimed for the depth of flavour, complexity and unmistakable representation of the distinct characteristics of Rhône Valley's most prized appellations.

Specialising in the production of Syrah and Marsanne, Domaine du Tunnel presents outstanding fine wines that demonstrate a marriage of power and finesse, a signature trait of Robert's winemaking style. The Cornas and Saint-Péray cuvées have gained critical acclaim, charming palates globally with their intensity and precision, elegantly encapsulating the essence of Rhône Valley wines.

The evolution of Domaine du Tunnel has been nothing short of remarkable. Lewis, Stéphane Robert, an unwavering commitment to quality and integrity and a ceaseless pursuit of innovation; this winery continues to eloquently blend tradition with modernity while staying true to the rich heritage of the Rhône Valley.
