WINE DESCRIPTION
Marcel Juge Cornas is a highly sought-after wine produced by Marcel Juge, a renowned winemaker in the Cornas appellation of the Rhône Valley. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes with granite soils, which impart a unique smoky minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including whole-cluster fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is known for its deep, dark color, intense aromas of black fruit, spice, and earth, and a full-bodied, tannic structure that can age for decades. Marcel Juge Cornas is a true expression of the terroir and a must-try for any serious wine enthusiast.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Marcel Juge Cornas is an intense and concentrated Syrah that offers aromas of violets, wild strawberries, and black pepper.On the palate, the wine offers a complex array of flavors, including ripe plum, dark cherry, and roasted coffee. The tannins are well-integrated, creating a luxurious texture and a long, lingering finish. This wine needs time to show its full potential but will develop over a 40-year span from vintage.

ORIGINS
Winery: Marcel Juge
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.CUSTOMER RATING
