The 2018 Domaine Vincent Paris Cornas La Geynale is among the most highly regarded wines of Cornas. Domaine Vincent Paris enjoys an excellent reputation thanks to its terroir-driven Syrahs, which combine power, freshness, and refinement. La Geynale comes from old vines on the steep granite slopes of Cornas and is considered the estate’s signature wine.
The 2018 vintage produced ripe and concentrated grapes, without losing the typical balance of Cornas. The wine combines intense dark fruit with floral aromas, peppery spice, and a pronounced mineral structure. Thanks to low yields and careful winemaking, it possesses impressive depth and excellent aging potential.
The nose opens with aromas of blackberries, black cherries, violets, black pepper, smoked bacon, olives, graphite, and garrigue. On the palate, the wine is powerful and concentrated, with ripe tannins, a lively freshness, and a long, mineral finish.
Serve at 16–18°C and decant the wine about one to two hours in advance. Delicious with grilled beef, lamb, game, stews, and aged hard cheeses.
Cornas is an outlier in the northern Rhône: its red wines are made exclusively from Syrah. On the steep granite slopes, winegrowers have had to work by hand for generations, because machines can barely navigate them. The name La Geynale refers to a special vineyard on these slopes. Vincent Paris works there with old vines that yield small quantities of concentrated grapes. The wine thus tells the story of a place where the landscape still dictates the winemaking process.
