espresso roast

featuring spice

black cherries and violets with hints of dark chocolate

This needs to develop more depth but the underlying material appears to be such that it should in time

Domaine, Lionnet other_regions espresso roastThe 2022 Cornas Chaillot is especially good, offering up aromas of spices, mulberries, dark cherries and blueberries, followed by a full bodied, layered and concentrated palate that's rather austere and muscular. Introduced in 2020 and skipped in 2021, this wine has quickly earned its place as the crown jewel of Lionnets lineup, offering a remarkable expression of Cornas at its finest. It has a real potential to improve in the cellar.
