Domaine Courbis, Cornas Champelrose - 2009

Winery Story

The origins of the Courbis family estate date back to the 16th century. The brothers Dominique and Laurent Courbis have succeeded their fath... (more...)er, Maurice, who was the mayor of Chateaubourg, their hometown. The Courbis brothers have combined their long family experience with a modern style, which has earned them international recognition. Courbis wines regularly receive rave reviews in Wine Spectator, International Wine Cellar, The Wine Advocate and Revue des Vins de France.

Tasting Note

“Interestingly, the 2009 Cornas Champelrose is slightly more voluptuously textured and softer. However, I wonder if its sexy display o... (more...)f cassis fruit and extravagant richness is hiding more tannin than is obvious? In any event, it is a prodigious Cornas possessing all the pepper, smoked game, blackberry, cassis, burning ember and scorched earth characteristics one could desire. This rich, full-bodied 2009 should be a singular Cornas to drink over the next 15+ years.” —Robert Parker
