Cornas Granit 60 Vieilles Vignes
Ce vin est un grand Cornas alliant puissance et finesse. Parfums de violette, cerise, mûre, réglisse. Les épices et les notes de confiture de fruits noirs viennent flatter les papilles des dégustateurs avertis. Très long en bouche.
Les fleurs et les fruits noirs font jeu égal, bouche plus en finesse encore que le granit 30, une fin plus épicée et poivrée, la persistance est intense.
Sur le chemin des Peyrouses, au bout du village de Cornas, se trouve le Domaine Vincent Paris. Plusieurs assemblages de parcelles constituernt ses Cornas dont le nom est inspiré de la pente des vignes.
Le Cornas Granit 60 provient de 3 parcelles sélectionnées pour leur grande qualité : des vignes de 60 ans d’âge moyen, cultivées sur les sols granitiques de l’Ardèche, en coteaux avec une inclinaison atteignant ici 60° (d'où le nom de la cuvée) : là où la vigne pousse lentement entre les cailloux pour donner des rendements inférieurs à 30 Hl/ha.
Garde possible de 20 à 30 ans.
La vendange est éraflée à 70%.
L’élevage se fait 3 mois en cuve puis 1 an en fût de 2 à 8 ans (Pas de fût neuf, pour respecter les parfums du terroir).

The Estate Vincent Paris
Cornas is an appellation that is curiously less recognised than its prestigious neighbours Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, yet it has nothing to envy them. You only have to go there to discover the striking landscape of the Cornas hillside, with its steep, terraced Syrah vines. It is easy to understand the quality that some estates can achieve here, given the quality of the terroir and the exposure.
On the way to Les Peyrouses, an address not to be missed is Vincent Paris' Cornas, which is not far away. Vincent was able to start in 1997 with one hectare of old vines from his grandfather
Today he owns about 7 hectares of vines, including 1.5 hectares in Saint-Joseph. Among his vineyards, there is a parcel unlike any other, the famous Geynale (planted in 1910!), bequeathed by his uncle Robert Michel, one of the precursors who gave the appellation its letters of nobility. Two other Cornas, Granit 30 and Granit 60, are produced, the number indicating the percentage of the slope that the plots can reach and also the approximate average age of the vines.
The Cornas of Vincent Paris are produced from a reasoned culture, as natural as possible. The grapes are more or less destemmed depending on the vintage and Vincent does not use new barrels to preserve the richness of the raw material and reveal all the identity of his famous terroir.
Robert Parker, the Wine Spectator and Jancis Robinson regularly praise the Cornas of Vincent Paris with scores reaching the top of the appellation. 70% of the production is destined for export, and no more, to our great delight! A domain to discover urgently... With game, prime rib or duck with porcini mushrooms, the Granit 60 or Geynale promises a most grandiose food-wine match.
