This very limited selection is the heart and soul of the estate, a tribute to the winemaker’s grandfather Henri, who would have been 100 years old in 2013, the very first vintage of this wine.

A strict selection of the estate’s oldest vines in ‘Patou,’ aged in older French oak barrels for nearly two years.

The essence of old-vine Cornas and “old school” to its core, ‘Henri’ is a treasure for the cellar and will reward patience!
