93-95+ Points, JebDunnuck.com "From a higher elevation, cooler terroir, the 2022 Cornas Les Eygats reveals a vivid purple hue as well as a more chiseled, focused style in its pure cassis and subtle blue fruits as well as incredible minerality in its graphite, violets, and crushed stone-like minerality. It's medium to full-bodied, focused, flawlessly balanced, and has fine tannins that will need 2-4 years of bottle age."
Description
The Courbis brothers, Dominique and Laurent, continue to fashion brilliant wines. From their 33 hectares of vines spread between Cornas, Saint Joseph, Saint-Péray, and Vin de Pays, they produce three whites (two Saint Joseph and one Saint-Péray), three Cornas, and three Saint Joseph. As I’ve written in the past, the wines are quasi-modern with most being destemmed and a few of the top releases seeing a touch of new oak. Don’t let that scare you, though – these are pure, rich, concentrated wines that always hold onto a sense of place. Looking at the wines reviewed here, they’ve done an incredible job with their 2021s, and while they show the fresher style of the vintage, they have ample depth. These will benefit from just a few years of bottle age and are well worth seeking out. The 2022s are a step up, with another level of concentration, yet they bring enough tannins where the cellar is going to be your friend.

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Domaine Courbis
The origins of the Courbis family estate date back to the 16th century. More recently, the brothers Dominique and Laurent Courbis succeeded their father, Maurice, in the early 1990s. Working from their gravity fed winery built into the slopes of St Joseph, the two are at the forefront of modern winemaking in the Northern Rhone. Grapes are hand harvested and 100 percent de-stemmed.The Syrahs are vinified in temperature controlled stainless steel. Timings vary across the range. Lighter red wines are matured in a mix of tank and used barriques while top Cornas and St Joseph see a mix of new and one year old oak.
