Marcel Juge, Cornas, 2009
Old-school Cornas from a beloved traditionalist who makes barely 150 cases a year in a cellar beneath his own house. Marcel Juge works 100% Syrah from steep granite hillsides, ferments whole-cluster under a submerged cap, ages in old demi-muids and bottles without filtration, exactly as it was done decades ago. The 2009 came from a lush, opulent Northern Rhone vintage, giving a Cornas with unusual flesh and amiability wrapped around the village's classic savory grip. It is the rare bottle from this address that charms early while still rewarding patience. Decant before serving.
