DOMAINE LIONNET Pur Granit 2022 Cornas 75cl Red

Grape variety: 100% Syrah (massal selection)

This cuvée comes exclusively from the lieu-dit “Saint-Pierre”, where vines from a massal selection are rooted in granitic soil.

Vinification / Ageing: Whole-cluster fermentation in concrete vats, followed by 18 months of ageing in demi-muids (600L barrels).

Tasting notes: The bouquet opens with mineral-driven aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, black cherry, incense, gingerbread, liquorice, black olive, violet and white pepper. Though concentrated, it is lifted by a vibrant mineral freshness that energises the wine. The palate is lively and expressive, with intense fruit and spice, while velvety tannins bring a sapid texture to the long, granite-marked finish.

🍷 Decanting recommended 2 hours before serving. Great ageing potential: 10 years and beyond.
