What it pairs with

  • Bone-in rib of beef with roasted marrow
    The wine's iron mineral tannins demand the richest, most flavourful beef cut.
  • Braised hare with juniper
    Rich gamey hare stew rewards a deeply mineral Cornas.
  • Camembert de Normandie
    Soft creamy cheese softens the wine's firm tannins elegantly.

History

La Geynale was first produced in 2003 as Vincent Paris's top single-vineyard cuvee. It comes from a specific terroir in Cornas that Paris identified as having the greatest mineral potential on his estate.
