Vincent Paris Granit 60

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

The Vincent Paris Granit 60 is made with 100% Syrah grapes from Cornas AOC in the Rhone Valley, aged for 12 months. This red wine has an ABV 13% and is filled with power and finesse. Full-bodied and lush, it has notes of cherry, blackberry, cherry, and licorice on the nose. On the palate, it has flavors of spices and black fruit jam, and silky tannins.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

This Syrah wine from Domaine Vincent Paris is great with meats, like beef dishes, steak, lamb, barbequed meats, and hamburgers. It also goes wonderfully with tomato-based pastas, roast or braised duck, and Gouda cheese.

STEADY RISING STAR

One of Cornas’ fastest rising stars, Vincent Paris launched his estate as a vigneron in 1997 on only one hectare. He planted vines in St. Joseph and Cornas, and in 2007, was able to purchase the plots in La Geynale, which is filled with century-old vines. Today, he owns eight hectares, and with his exceptional wines, is quickly becoming a major name in Cornas and the viticulture world.

The ideal temperature for storage is between 16 to 18°C. Once opened, a bottle will be good for 3 to 5 days standing upright in the refrigerator.
