{"product_id":"cornas-jean-pierre-brotte-1983","title":"Cornas Jean-Pierre Brotte 1983","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cornas Jean-Pierre Brotte 1983 is a red wine produced by Ets Jean-Pierre Brotte, a négociant-éleveur based in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This wine originates from the Rhône Valley in southeastern France, a region with a viticultural history dating back to Roman times. The Rhône is geographically divided into two distinct parts, and this wine comes from the northern section, which is characterized by its steep slopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCornas is a small Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée located on the right bank of the Rhône River, south of Saint-Joseph and opposite the city of Valence. Granted AOC status in 1938, it covers only about 145 hectares of planted vineyards, making it one of the smallest appellations in the northern Rhône. The name Cornas translates to \"scorched earth\" in Celtic, reflecting its status as one of the warmest areas in the northern Rhône. The climate is continental, featuring warm summers and cold winters. The vineyards are situated on south-facing, steep slopes that maximize sun exposure. The soils consist almost entirely of weathered granite, along with gneiss and sand, often supported by terraced walls that make mechanical farming difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn accordance with the strict regulations of the Appellation Cornas Contrôlée, the wine is made exclusively from Syrah. Unlike other northern Rhône appellations such as Côte-Rôtie, Cornas does not permit the addition of any white grape varieties. Syrah, a blue grape also known as Shiraz, is the only permitted variety in the area and is widely cultivated in the Rhône Valley, as well as in regions across Australia, California, and Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Pierre Brotte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57365387706694,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1100_4c578d93-715a-40ff-ab40-ff7d674fb909.jpg?v=1789372846","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/cornas-jean-pierre-brotte-1983","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
