Vincent owns 8 hectares in Cornas and St Joseph, he is meticulous in the vineyards and prunes to very low yields creating a gorgeous herbal style of Cornas. A true artist, Vincent has been built up his reputation and his wines are highly sought after. His Granit 30 and Granit 60 are both exceptional and highlight the elegance of his wines, the former being sourced from younger vines of around 10 years and the latter coming from three different plots of older vines of between 30-100 year-old vines.
Northern Rhône in 2020 was scored in Decanter by Matt Walls as 4.5/5. "A reliably fresh, balanced and approachable vintage – a return to classicism after a series of powerful years.
Optimal drinking window: 2026 - 2036
"There are herbal depths here, but they're currently filled by the intense, powerful berry fruits. Medium- to full-bodied, this has good concentration and intensity of fruit, coupled with powerful but very ripe tannin. There's good energy here, the wine is upright and not as soft and easy-going as some other Cornas this year. Great vitality and salinity, this is well-balanced, fresh and classically Cornas. A satisfying and energising wine with a long finish. 50-year-old vines on very steep slopes, 70% destemmed. No pigeage, natural yeasts, then spending 16 months in two to eight-year-old barrels."
