Domaine du Tunnel
A tiny domaine making some of the most overachieving wines across the Northern Rhône, Domaine du Tunnel is one of the most exciting, up-and-coming producers in the region. Founded in 1994 by Stephane Robert with initially just two-and-a-half hectares in Saint-Joseph, Cornas and Saint-Péray, over the past 25 years they have grown to 11 hectares, still tiny by Rhône standards. For reference, that's half the holdings of Jaboulet, putting it on a more Burgundian scale, just shy of blue-chip Domaine Jean Grivot's 12 hectares. Stephane makes four three Cornas, four leading white wines from Saint Peray and a serious Saint Joseph.

Vinous (96)Inky violet color. Pungent, mineral-tinged aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, candied flowers and olive paste turn spicier as the wine stretches out. Densely packed and expansive on the palate, offering bitter cherry, blackberry, fruitcake and espresso flavors that slowly turn sweeter on the back half. Tightens up on the impressively long, penetrating finish, which features chewy tannins and an echo of dark berry preserves. |
