mostly Garnacha with 2% Cariñena on a steep slope

What’s more

which merits serious consideration as wine of the vintage within the tiny Cornas appellation

it is both more elegant and airier

I would give it a few more years to see where it goes

Jacques Prieur, Beaune Greves Rouge Vintage:2016 mostly Garnacha with 2% Cariñena(from a 1. 17 ha parcel that gave only 14 hl ha in 2016). A more deeply pitched and slightly more complex nose offers up notes of dark pinot fruit, freshly turned earth, soft spice and a whiff of underbrush. The rich, concentrated and sappy medium bodied flavors possess evident muscle that adds to the sense of power on the robust and moderately rustic finale. This will definitely need at least a few years of cellaring first. (90 92) 2026+
