Cornas Champelrose Courbis Cornas, 2022

Cornas is one of the Rhône Valley’s most respected appellations for powerful, age-worthy Syrah, and the 2022 Champelrose from Courbis captures that character beautifully. This is a wine with impressive depth, structure and regional authenticity, offering a classic expression of Cornas for lovers of serious Northern Rhône reds.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, inky ruby color with a dense, polished core. The nose typically leans toward blackberries, dark cherries, violets, black pepper, crushed herbs and a subtle smoky, mineral edge. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with firm tannins, vibrant dark fruit and a savory, spice-driven finish that reflects the granite-rich terroir of Cornas. The wine should reward cellaring, with its structure and intensity suggesting good aging potential over the medium to long term. Over time, the fruit is likely to evolve toward more complex notes of leather, dried herbs, game and earth while the tannins soften and integrate.

Production
Cornas sits on steep, granite-based slopes in the Northern Rhône, where Syrah thrives in a warm but challenging climate that naturally limits yields and concentrates flavor. While detailed vineyard and vinification information for this cuvée is not provided, wines from this appellation are commonly harvested by hand and vinified with care to preserve freshness, structure and the distinct mineral expression of the site.

Food & Serving
This is a natural partner for robust dishes such as grilled lamb, beef stew, roast game, duck breast, or rich mushroom-based recipes. It also works well with aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1–2 hours if drinking young, to allow the wine to खुलly open and soften its tannins.

Producer
Courbis is a well-regarded family producer in the Rhône Valley, known for crafting expressive wines that highlight the character of their appellations. The estate has earned recognition for producing structured, terroir-driven reds with a strong sense of place, particularly in Cornas and surrounding Northern Rhône vineyards.
