Paul Jaboulet Aine, Cornas St Pierre Brut Zero floral and wet stone scents

floral and wet stone scents

sauvage and violet notes with subtle undertones of underbrush

This is all about purity of cherry and raspberry fruit

very firm and overtly austere finale

all wrapped in a balanced finish that displays only mild rusticity

Paul Jaboulet Aine, Cornas St Pierre Brut Zero floral and wet stone scentsStill in barrel, the 2023 Cornas Domaine De Saint Pierre has that classic, exotic, floral, orange like character that's common in the vintage as well as a deep purple hue, ample cassis and darker cherry fruits, nicely integrated oak, and textbook Cornas iron, leather, and pepper nuances. It's a concentrated, powerful effort that will need short term cellaring.
