Description
The estate
Stéphane Robert created the Domaine du Tunnel in 1994. The name of the estate makes reference to an old stone tunnel, 170 metres in length, which Stéphane Robert converted into a winemaking and ageing cellar in 2014. The property stretches across 5 communes and 10 hectares of old vines, on a superb hillside terroir of granite and limestone. Stéphane Robert has consistently developed wines that have established themselves as references in the heart of the Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray and Cornas appellations.
The vineyard
This Domaine du Tunnel cuvée is a Cornas wine that comes from a selection of 50 plots from the hamlets of Sauman, Combes, les Côtes, les Mazards, Cayret, Patou, Les Eygas and Champelrose.
Winemaking and ageing
Separate ageing over 14 months in three-wine casks.
Blend
Syrah (100%).
Tasting
Colour
The colour has varying hues of purple and black.
Nose
The nose has subtle notes of old rose, cherry and raspberry.

Round and firm from the first attack, the palate offers very fine, licorice tannins and toasted, black cherry and cocoa bean scents. As it matures, the palate becomes more complex with mineral and roasted notes.
Storage
This red wine can be kept in a cellar until about 2024 to bring out all its aromatic nuances.
To serve
For the best tasting, serve at 18°C.
Food and wine pairings
This Rhône Valley wine goes perfectly with poultry, duck breast or a cut of beef.
