The 2018 Reynard, a standout in his portfolio, exemplifies the heights that Syrah can reach in this historic region.

The 2018 vintage in Cornas benefited from a warm growing season, allowing the grapes to attain remarkable ripeness while retaining vibrant acidity. This balance results in a wine that is both powerful and elegant, with deep, dark fruit flavors complemented by hints of spice and earthiness. The Reynard vineyard, known for its granitic soils, imparts a distinctive mineral edge, further enhancing its complexity.
