Covering a total area of 110 ha, the Cornas site is located on the right bank of the Rhône stream, near Valence. Very open to the South and protected from the North winds by the Massif des Arlettes, the Cornas historic site is located in an amphitheater in which the vineyard benefits from an extremely hot climate which gives rise to wines very different from those of the others Rhône Valley designations.
The vineyard is mainly established on a 600 million years old granite base and the grape varieties are only made of Syrah. The wines are powerful and intense, they reach their peak only after many years of cellar.
