Domaine Vincent Paris Cornas Granit 60 2022

Cornas has always been about slope, and Vincent Paris named this one "60" after the gradient he farms. Granite at 300 meters, pitched steep enough that the number is a warning as much as a label. Four bunches per vine instead of the usual five to seven, a third whole cluster fermented cool, two-thirds of it in barrel: concentration built in the vineyard rather than bullied in later. Dark, granite-driven Syrah with tannin that has somewhere to go. This is what the northern Rhône tastes like when nobody's softening the edges.
