The palate manages linear tang and saline

Subtle wood surrounds the slightly more elegant and fresher aromas evidencing airy notes of spicy and softly earthy red and dark pinot fruit scents

all of which is trimmed in soft wood nuances

but I still prefer the 2021 vintage

The wine needs a few more years to get out of this more reticent phase

Domaine, Lionnet other_regions The palate manages linear tangThe 2022 Cornas Chaillot is especially good, offering up aromas of spices, mulberries, dark cherries and blueberries, followed by a full bodied, layered and concentrated palate that's rather austere and muscular. Introduced in 2020 and skipped in 2021, this wine has quickly earned its place as the crown jewel of Lionnets lineup, offering a remarkable expression of Cornas at its finest. It has a real potential to improve in the cellar.
