"Guaranteed fun!
A divine pleasure for this full-bodied, textured white wine with intense apple and stone fruit aromas. An assertive character is revealed in this delicate, intense cuvée, enlivened by a light minerality and minty flavors, with good length and a silky finish.

About the domain :
Since setting up in business in 1994, Stéphane Robert, who does not come from a wine-growing background, has established himself as a benchmark in the northern crus landscape. He has created his own vineyard from scratch, now covering 11 hectares, with vines in Cornas, Saint Joseph, Saint Péray and Condrieu. The vineyards run alongside an old railroad line and a 160 m tunnel, still visible today, which gives the estate its name and in which a new winery and ageing cellar were built in 2013.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Stéphane Robert runs his estate with brio, crafting modern, precise wines that are setting new standards in the Saint-Péray and Cornas appellations. These cuvées revive the sometimes rustic, sun-drenched style of these two small appellations. Stéphane brings to his opaque Syrahs a touch of refinement earned through precise grape ripening, extraction and ageing. The wines also age very well.
