Domaine Aleofane Cornas

A generous and flavourful wine from a beloved appellation, this Cornas is full of luscious black cherries, ripe blackberries, and juicy plum, all wrapped in layers of smoky bacon, cracked black pepper, and violet petals. Rich and mouth-coating, with plush, velvety tannins that match the intense fruit and add further complexity, not to mention enough structure to make this a great wine for dinner parties. Pair this with tender lamb dishes and a proper Sunday roast with all the trimmings.

Method Magic Aleofane means “gem of truth”, a statement of intent by winemaker Natacha Chave. Coming from one of the Rhone’s most famous families, Natacha has deep oenological roots, but bravely struck out on her own in the early 2000s. She farms her vineyards biodynamically and harvests by hand. The Cornas vines are from the cuttings of ‘great vines’ past in the vineyard, aka Massale selection, and grown at higher altitude (380m above sea level) to help develop complexity and elegance in this hot area. Grapes are partially destemmed before fermentation, before maturation in 600L demi-muids for 12 months. Natacha combines modern minimum-interventionist approaches with a desire to create exceptional, classic expressions of the region she knows so well. A real, well, “gem” of a find, truthfully.
