Denuziere Cornas 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis powerful red wine hails from Cornas, the southernmost red-wine appellation of the Northern Rhône, famous for its \"burnt earth\" (Cornas in old Celtic) and sun-drenched granite terraces. Maison J. Denuzière has a storied heritage dating back to 1876, when Joanny Paret began distributing local wines via horse-drawn cart. Today, under the direction of oenologist Caroline Moro, the estate has transitioned from a historic négoce firm into a high-end domaine focusing on \"micro-cuvées\" that emphasize freshness and varietal precision. Their Cornas is primarily sourced from the \"En Sauman\" lieu-dit, a 1.2-hectare plot of steep, weathered granite terraces that produce some of the most concentrated and characterful Syrah in the valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJ. Denuzière Cornas presents a deep, inky ruby color with violet reflections. The nose is classic and intense, offering a complex bouquet of blackberry, scorched earth, and crushed granite, layered with savory notes of leather, black pepper, and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is muscular and robust, showcasing a dense core of dark plum and cassis fruit balanced by a striking mineral tension. It is characterized by its firm, \"upright\" tannins and a persistent finish marked by woodsmoke and salted licorice. This 100% Syrah typically has an ABV of 13.5% to 14% and was aged for approximately 15 to 18 months in French oak barrels (225L and 600L demi-muids) to soften its rugged structure while preserving its volcanic soul. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300968 - Boutique Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42472837578839,"sku":"877228","price":71.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/J.-Denuziere-Cornas-2020.jpg?v=1771599109","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/j-denuziere-cornas-2020","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
