Domaine Du Tunnel, Cornas, 2022
Stéphane Robert’s Domaine du Tunnel has become one of the most admired names in Cornas, known for crafting Syrah that’s both precise and soulful. Working mostly with old vines on steep granite slopes, Robert avoids new oak and heavy extraction, favoring whole-cluster ferments and gentle élevage to preserve freshness and terroir.
The 2022 vintage is a beautiful example of this balance. It leads with violet, black cherry, olive, and smoked meat—all classic Cornas markers—but what sets it apart is the clarity of the fruit and the fine-grained structure beneath it. It’s compact and coiled for now, but there’s lift, energy, and a long mineral finish that promises years of graceful evolution.
Drink with a decant now, or cellar for 8–15 years. For lovers of Northern Rhône Syrah who want intensity without heaviness—and for those who lean toward Gonon, Allemand, or Barge in style—Domaine du Tunnel belongs squarely in the conversation.
