Domaine Julien Cecillon, Cornas Saint Pierre Syrah 2021

Cave Julien Cécillon was founded in 2011 and is the beloved project of winemakers Julien Cécillon and Nancy Kerschen. With vineyards in the appellations of Saint Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage in France’s Northern Rhone Valley, the estate is dedicated to producing elegant, terroir-driven wines.

100% Syrah – a Cornas coming from a tiny .25ha parcel biodynamically and organically farmed by a neighbor, called ‘Saint Pierre,’ at the very top of the village on pure granite soils and 26 year-old vines. The fermentation step is 10% whole cluster in stainless steel tanks; élevage is 18 months, in a combination of new oak barrels (400L) and neutral barrels (225L). An elegant interpretation of an otherwise wild, intense appellation.
