history
The vineyard is owned by two brothers: Eric and Joël . Their vineyards cover 13 ha (8 ha of Saint Joseph and 5 ha of Cornas). They took over the family estate and started bottling our wine in 1991. They work hard to ensure their harvests will be fully expressive of the terroir. They love wines that have personality but are still fine and elegant.

The 2022 Cornas Emotion will be a step up over the 2021 and offers beautiful currant and cassis-like fruit as well as graphite, ground pepper, and violet notes. It's medium to full-bodied, has a round, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length.
