“An intense, smoky, and intriguing nose. Beautiful concentration and purity of fruit with fine tannins, a fresh palate, and good length. Very elegant, a great success for the vintage, this wine is ripe, concentrated, refined, and balanced. Enjoy it young or let it age for a moderate period.” (Decanter 2025)

Guide Hachette des vins
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 comprises 11 highly fragmented hectares planted with Cornas, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray, and Condrieu vines. These vines 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 fermentation facility and aging cellar were built in 2013.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often blessed with 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 runs his estate with great skill, crafting modern, precise wines that have established themselves as benchmarks within the Saint-Péray and Cornas appellations. These wines bring a fresh perspective to the style—sometimes rustic and sun-drenched—of these two small appellations. Stéphane brings touches of refinement to his opaque Syrahs, achieved through precise grape ripeness, extraction, and aging. The wines also age very well.
