The Story
Old-school Cornas from a beloved traditionalist working out of a cellar under his house in the village center. Marcel Juge makes tiny quantities of 100% Syrah from steep granite slopes, ferments whole-cluster under a submerged cap, ages in crusty old demi-muids and bottles unfiltered. The 2010 ranks among the Northern Rhone's great recent vintages, a powerful, structured year of pure fruit and serious depth. Expect a Cornas built to age, still tightly coiled and rewarding a decade or more in the cellar. Decant generously if you open one young.
