Domaine Courbis offers Saint-Joseph and Cornas red wines defined by Syrah. They feature a texture that is both dense and elegant, with tannins that are present yet well-integrated, as well as a lovely freshness. The aromatic profile is often complex, with notes of black fruit, spices, and occasionally a floral touch. The overall balance and flavorful substance suggest excellent aging potential.
Domaine Courbis, now managed by brothers Laurent and Dominique Courbis, is firmly anchored on the right bank of the Rhône, in the southern part of the Saint-Joseph appellation. The Courbis family’s history in the region bears witness to a long winemaking tradition passed down from generation to generation since the 16th century.
Pioneers on these steep hillsides, the Courbis brothers distinguish themselves through their determination and innovative approach. They have successfully combined modern winemaking techniques with ancestral methods, all while ensuring the quality of their wines is preserved. Their shared commitment is to guarantee the longevity of the family estate. The estate produces a range of red wines made primarily from Syrah, notably in Cornas and Saint-Joseph, as well as white wines in Saint-Joseph (from Marsanne and Roussanne) and in Saint-Péray.
