2022 Famille de Boel 'Ars Magirica' Cornas, France
$79.99
‘Ars Magirica’ Cornas is only the first vintage of Cornas from de Boel-France and marks the second use of their brand new plot of fruit, a tiny 5-year-old vineyard straight up the hill west of the town of Cornas in Clarencon. As the only region in the northern Rhone that requires 100% Syrah for the finished wine, these young vines planted in granite soils have a bright future ahead, already showcasing gorgeous finesse brushed atop a dense canvas. 7-year-old barrique and demi-muids were filled after natural fermentation in stainless steel, and aged for around 10 months before release. Although youthful, the finished wine has a dark and complex core decorated by wisps of bright lively fruit. Smashed blueberries, graphite, rose, and soft meaty aromas fill the glass, leading to a thick palate of small berries, minerals, fresh acid, and a lengthy finish of fruit, anise, and rocks that begs for food.
