“A dark, intense, and full-bodied nose. A dense mid-palate of kirsch and gravel, meat, and licorice, supported by a tangy freshness. Ripe, inviting, and full of character, with a fruity sweetness that balances very well with the full-bodied mid-palate.” (Jancis Robinson 2025)

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
Since taking over in 1994, Stéphane Robert—who does not come from a winemaking background—has established himself as a leading figure in the world of northern wines. He built his vineyard from the ground up; today it spans 11 hectares of highly fragmented plots, planted with Cornas, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray, and Condrieu vines. These vineyards run alongside an old railroad track and a 160-meter tunnel—still visible today—which gives the estate its name and in which a new winemaking facility and aging cellar were built in 2013.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
Stéphane Robert manages his estate with flair and crafts modern, precise wines that have established themselves as benchmarks within the Saint-Péray and Cornas appellations. These wines breathe new life into the style—sometimes rustic and sun-kissed—of these two small appellations. Stéphane brings touches of refinement to his deep, opaque Syrahs, achieved through precise grape ripeness, extraction, and aging. The wines also age very well.
