Tasting notes
As always, vinified with whole bunches, the 2023 Cornas Jana wafts from the glass with aromas of blueberry, spices and licorice mingled with delicate violet notes. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it’s perfectly ripe and built around a vibrant core of fruit that is framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a perfumed finish. This is a strong effort.

Smoky black fruits, fresh asphalt, black olive, and peppery, meaty notes all shine in the 2023 Cornas Jana, a rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated 2023 that picks up violet and floral nuances with time in the glass. Coming from the Chaillot, Combe, and les Cotes terroirs, and vinified with 100% whole clusters, it has great mid-palate depth, ripe, building tannins, flawless overall balance, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and just another absolutely sensational Cornas from this talented winemaker. It's one of the vintage's most successful wines and needs to be hidden in the cellar for 4-6 years and will cruise over the following two decades. Drink 2030-2050.
The 2023 Cornas Jana introduces itself with espresso, blackberry, flickers of cedar as well as smoky subtones. Pencil shaving adds more nuance. Mid-volume, nudging toward full and skillfully wrapped around ripe tannins, the 2023 packs lively overall energy, concluding with notable refinement on the gently savoury finish.
