Stephane Robert Domaine du Tunnel Cornas 2014
Voluptuous and subtle hints of old rose, cherry and raspberry aromas. Round attack, firm tannins and very fine liquorice that release aromas of black cherry, toast and cocoa bean. With time very balanced flavors will harmonize, we will be on the fruit and schistose and roasted notes, which give the cornas a nice complexity on the palate.
In 1994, Stephane ROBERT created the Domaine du Tunnel. It starts with 2.5 hectares of vineyards on the right bank of the Rhone, in Ardeche, in the Cornas appellation, Saint-Péray and Saint Joseph. The winery is in the center of Saint-Peray. In 2013, the field expanded its range with additional AOC Condrieu. In 2014, Stephane rehabilitates a tunnel in Saint-Peray in a place called "Barras" to implant a winery and livestock. In the early twentieth century, the tunnel stone along 170m size was crossed by a steam train connecting Valencia to Vernoux in Vivarais."
