Verset A et E Cornas 2022

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“Ripe black cherry, cedar, graphite and earthy tones introduce the 2022 Cornas, a medium- to full-bodied red that’s firmly framed by ripe tannins. Concentrated and layered, the complex 2022 demands at least three more years in a cool cellar to unearth its full potential.” - 92 PTS, VINOUS MEDIA (11/2024)

IMPORTER NOTES:

TASTING: “The flagship Cornas from Emmanuelle Verset has a complex nose of blackberries and cherries, with toasty, smoky and floral aromas. The mouth is marked by the presence of tannins with a lovely freshness.”
