Winery Story
The origins of the Courbis family estate date back to the 16th century. The brothers Dominique and Laurent Courbis have succeeded their father, 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
The wines of the Courbis estate are some of the most compelling examples of St. Joseph and Cornas being made today. A mix of floral, mineral, and tropical fruit characterize this wine.

Very complex, did not like it at first... found it to be a little too acidic... but eventually grew on us - paired well with the roasted chicken - made an excellent au jus.

A bit too sweet for me. Oaky and syrupy, says Max. SK thought it was kind of soft, fuzzy almost. We hope Kim isn't reading this, because it's obvious we have no idea what we're talking about and that we've had too much.
