Domaine Dumien Serrette Cornas Henri 2020

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.

The vines in the "Henri" vineyard are around 60 years old, leading to a low but high-quality yield. These old vines root deeply and benefit from the cool winds and intense sunlight, allowing for slow, even ripening. The wine is traditionally aged in small oak barrels, giving it a complex structure and great aging potential.
