Cornas „Gore“ 2015 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Cornas „Gore“ 2015 1500ml Magnum by Du Coulet

Colour & Appearance

Deep purple-red with violet reflections and an impenetrable black core – a wine that promises concentration and power from the very first glance.

Nose

Matthieu Barret’s Gore presents itself lavishly and opulent in the glass. Black amarena cherries and dark chocolate dominate initially, before spicy notes of dried meat, black pepper and leather enhance the complexity. The aromatic spectrum is underpinned by cassis, blackberry jam and the mineral coolness of wet slate – classic Cornas with depth.

Palate

Here the true finesse of this wine reveals itself: contrary to the opulent nose, the Gore shows itself on the palate as fresh and drinking beautifully, positively elegant. The Syrah carries transparent sour cherry fruit, the long, sweeping arc of acidity creates space for the mineral freshness that lends the wine tension and vibrancy. The interplay between fruit and mild spice captivates and seduces you to pour another glass – a Cornas that combines power with finesse.

Finish

Persistent and precise with fine spice and mineral aftertaste.

Terroir & Origin

Domaine du Coulet lies in the heart of Cornas, one of the most demanding appellations of the northern Rhône. The steep granite soils with their slate inclusions lend the Gore its characteristic minerality and freshness – pure terroir.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Syrah from Matthieu Barret, one of the most exciting winemakers of the northern Rhône. The moderate alcohol content of 13% vol. underscores the elegant, restrained style that prioritises finesse over power.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Special Features
