Much like the Les Pontaix bottling the 2019 Crozes Hermitage Clos les Cornirets starts off with hints of crushed stone on the nose plus blueberries and cassis and a handful of pencil shavings. From older vines (70+ years of age) and a more granitic site it's also medium to full-bodied but comes across as slightly more concentrated and structured than Les Pontaix with ripe tannins that shape the palate into a long softly dusty finish. It should drink well for at least the rest of this decade.

Slightly more expensive the 2019 Crozes-Hermitage Clos Les Cornirets is more ruby/purple-hued and offers a rocking bouquet cassis violets bouquet garni and orange blossom. It's pure medium-bodied and elegant on the palate with silky tannins and a great finish. It's another terrific wine from this estate.
