Rare Wines

Toasted marshmallow and macadamia nut aromas lead the way, followed by incredibly juicy mirabelle plum, green fig, and glazed pear and peach flavors. As big as it is, still plenty of honeysuckle and chamomile notes kicking the finish into yet another gear

Bright medium ruby. Very dark, discreet scents of black raspberry, crème de cassis and flowers. Densely packed, intense and energetic, terrific savory minerality and violet lift. A crystalline quality finishes with mounting length and noble tannins.

Gilles’s flagship Cornas comprises three parcels. Combe de Chaillot offers straightforward fruit; steep Les Terrasses, contributes granitic punch and intense spiciness; and the Grandes Mures, with its southward exposition, provides dark-fruited bass notes

Each glass features complex aromatics with hints of truffle, smoke, earth, tar, cassis, spice and leather. The wine is elegant, refined and sensuously balanced.

Aromas of black fruits—plum and cherry—dark chocolate and leather. The entry is elegant and floods the palate with notes of cassis, blackberry, blueberry, caramel and brown sugar. Rich and bold. The wine closes with dusty tannins and baking chocolate.

This Chablis reveals white fruit notes such as peach, and has a persistent mineral structure. In the mouth, a stony sensation which is so typical of Chablis makes this a round and pure wine.
