Cornas has changed. The appellation used to make "country wine" — dark, brooding, sometimes inelegant — and the new generation has remade it into something that stands shoulder to shoulder with Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie. Vincent Paris, nephew of the great Robert Michel, is at the center of that transformation. Granit 60 comes from his older-vine, steeper-slope sites — these are special wines for cellaring. They show that Syrah is capable of the same kind of nuance and elegance as great Pinot Noir.

"The 2023 Cornas Granit 60 unveils early notes of pronounced orange blossom, fresh violets, stems, pencil shavings and black cherry compote. Touching the medium-bodied palate with lifting vivacity, the 2023 is an outright delicious Cornas Granit 60 that won't take much time to start showing its full potential." —Nicolas Greinacher

Decanter

"Granit 60 is considerably darker than Granit 30. This has lovely blackberry and cassis notes, with a touch of blackberry eau-de-vie. It has a good sense of ripeness, but finishes firm and dry on a solid base of tannin. A little texture comes from the stems, but overall this is about the fruit, which has good finesse. The finish is long. This is a compact – rather than massive – Cornas, but one with a good sense of balance and freshness. Drink young if you like Cornas tannins, or wait. One-third whole bunches, no new oak." —Matt Walls,

Wine Spectator

93 points

"A seductive version, featuring licorice and spiced blackberry preserves with concentration and range. Violet perfume wafts through, while lashings of saline, smoked meat, tar and dried herbs make this equally savory. Richly styled and mouthfilling, with tannins nicely sculpted for a smooth feel. Drinking well now, but give this time in the cellar to fully reveal itself. Best from 2028 through 2040." —Kristen Bieler

More about Vincent Paris

Vincent Paris has become quintessential Cornas to us in the same way a ribeye is the definitive steak. The wines are deeply satisfying, bone-in Syrahs of confidence and structure. They follow a perfect recipe of exceptional old-vine parcels, granite soils, and generations of passionate winemaking,

Of course, as any chef will tell you – it's one thing to have excellent ingredients and quite another to execute an authentic and delicious plate of food. Mastery takes time. Here at Flatiron some of our earliest experiences with Paris' wines did not always hold our attention. He has exemplary holdings – including his retired uncle Robert Michel's prized "La Geynale" – but the wines were often more good than great.

However, recent vintages deliver effortlessly. Each cuvée offers more than you hoped, yet exactly what you wanted.

Much like a thoughtful chef, his selections are designed with purpose in mind – the younger vine cuvées are generous and joyous (a mood in which you will share, given the more than reasonable price tag), while the more serious bottlings pull you deeper into the terroir, exposing the mystique of purity and pedigree.
