A blend of three parcels, Cuilleron's 2017 Cornas Village features hints of violets, crushed stone and raspberries on the nose. It's full-bodied, creamy and ripe, dominated by mouthwatering red fruit, which lingers easily on the silky-textured finish. Approachable now, it should drink well for a decade. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent results.
