A&E Verset, Syrah, NV [2024]

The everyday red from one of Cornas's great names. Emmanuelle Verset, sixth generation of the famous family, bottles this Syrah as Vin de France from younger plots on the plains around Cornas, giving you the house's savory Northern Rhone signature without the cellar wait or the Cornas price. She farms organically and works whole-cluster with no new oak, so the wine stays bright, peppery, and true to place. Pour it young and slightly cool. An easy weeknight introduction to a serious domaine.
