Cornas Lieu-dit Patou

Ferraton Père & Fils's Cornas Lieu-dit Patou is a single-vineyard Syrah from one of the Northern Rhône's most prestigious terroirs. The 2021 vintage delivers a medium-full-bodied wine with pronounced dark fruit character—ripe plum and blackberry—layered with black pepper spice and mineral earth. Secondary notes of smoke and licorice add complexity, while the wine's medium-high tannins provide structure and aging potential. A classic expression of Cornas's volcanic slate soils and continental climate, this wine rewards patient cellaring and pairs beautifully with grilled red meat, braised beef, and game.
