Domaine Ludovic Courbis

Cornas

Domaine Gérard Courbis is based in the village of Mauves, close to the boundary with Cornas. The family estate is run by brothers, Ludovic and Emmanuel. . The wines are made very much in a traditional and elegant style of Northern Rhône to reflect both freshness and perfume, while retaining a lovely savory edge.
Courbis’ Cornas makes a splashy entrance, flashing hints of violet, forest floor, cracked peppercorns and unctuous blueberry. Aromas of zesty blackberry gain intricacies of rose petal and graphite. This bottling embodies a firm core of mineral and persistent spice. The grapes are sourced from the steepest slopes which makes for a rich and ripe wine, with mineral tension and freshness of acidity that’s thrilling. 100% Syrah.
