The vineyards of Cornas are located on steep, terraced slopes dominated by granite soils. These soils are particularly suitable for the Syrah grape, as they retain heat and promote even ripening of the grapes. The "Henri" vineyard benefits from a particularly rocky and well-drained soil structure, which imparts a pronounced minerality and depth to the wine.
The Cornas Henri 2020 displays a deep, ruby-red color with purple reflections. The wine is full-bodied and structured, with a dense tannin structure that provides a robust backbone. The well-integrated acidity ensures freshness and balance. The finish is long-lasting, with notes of minerals and subtle spice, characteristic of the Cornas terroir.
