WINE DESCRIPTION

Guillaume Gilles Nouvelle R Cornas is a premium wine produced by Guillaume Gilles, a renowned winemaker from the Cornas appellation in the Rhône Valley. The wine is made from grapes grown in the steep, terraced vineyards of Cornas, which are known for their granite soils and ideal sun exposure. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including whole-cluster fermentation and aging in old oak barrels, resulting in a wine that is complex, elegant, and full of character. The style of the wine is bold and powerful, with intense flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate a rich and full-bodied red wine.

ORIGINS

Winery: Guillaume Gilles

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
