Overview:
Delas 2020 Cornas Chante-Perdrix Rouge is a classic expression of the prestigious Cornas appellation, whose wines have been celebrated since the 10th century. Known for its exceptional quality, Cornas regained its reputation with AOC status, and this wine is a prime example of the region’s rich history and terroir. Made from 100% Syrah, the wine is grown on south-facing slopes with steep shale soils, producing a wine of structure and power.
Tasting Notes:
This wine presents an intense garnet red color, followed by strong blackcurrant aromas in its youth. As it ages, the fruit notes gradually give way to more complex flavors of pepper and liquorice. The palate is rich and structured, with bold, defined flavors that showcase the true character of the Cornas terroir. The wine’s tannins are firm, ensuring it has excellent ageing potential. Perfect for pairing with mixed grills, wild mushrooms, or game dishes, especially those served with spicy sauces. This wine requires a minimum of 3 years of cellaring to fully reveal its complexity, and if aged longer, it should be decanted before serving for the best experience.
