The 2022 Domaine Vincent Paris Cornas La Geynale is an exceptional expression of Northern Rhône terroir. With a deep ruby hue, this wine immediately entices the senses with its intense aromas of blackberry, black currant, and violet, layered with hints of smoked meat and black pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with firm tannins and a lively acidity. Flavors of dark cherry, plum, and licorice are complemented by earthy notes of leather and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant warmth in the mouth. This vintage is a testament to Vincent Paris' dedication to producing terroir-driven wines with impeccable balance. It is a wine that will continue to evolve and improve with age, making it a true gem in any wine lover's collection.

Very complex nose of smoke and forest berry fruit with a touch of grilled meat. Extremely dense with enormous fine tannins, but still so bright and energetic. Major concentration at the extremely long, velvety finish, where you feel the wildness that's the signature of this appellation. From a single parcel of 50-year-old vines. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

The promising 2022 Cornas La Geynale was made with 100% whole-clusters during fermentation. A complex nose explodes with pungent raspberry jam, blackberry compote, roasted herbs, iodine, tobacco leaves, spice-box, candle wax and a splash of menthol. There’s even a little gamey edge. This concentrated elixir hits the palate with mind-boggling energy and frames a massive tannic structure. I can’t wait to taste the final result.

Has good weight of fruit, though no huge concentration like in other vintages. Ends on quite firm tannins, but they have a certain suppleness compared to the harsher green tannins elsewhere in Cornas this year. Classic style, with grip and presence that should age with interest, though will always be one for fans of a more ascetic Cornas style. Whole-bunch fermented, from 100-year-old vines grown in Reynard. Aged in used barrels, no new oak. 4,000 bottles made.

The 2022 Cornas La Geynale impresses with pronounced aromas of crushed violet, orange rind, black cherry, graphite, dried meat, blackberry jam, roasted herbs and a flicker of leather. Full-bodied and deeply concentrated, it's powerfully structured like a skyscraper, yet infused with lifting energy that balances its sheer intensity. Gracefully winding down with a long, savory finish, the 2022 La Geynale is a bold and serious rendition of this legendary Cornas.
