According to the producer M. Chapoutier, the Les Arenes - M. Chapoutier in its Magnum (1.5L) format features the following characteristics:

• Varietal Composition: 100% Syrah.
• Flavor Profile: This wine has entered a beautiful stage of maturity. The nose is dominated by black fruit jam (blackberry), accompanied by spicy undertones and subtle hints of leather. On the palate, it remains robust but has become more rounded, featuring velvety tannins and the hallmark mineral tension of Cornas' granitic soils.
• Vinification: Aged for 14 to 16 months in oak barrels, which has provided structural depth and long-term complexity.
• Magnum Advantage: The 1.5L format has allowed this 2014 vintage to evolve more slowly and gracefully than a standard bottle, preserving its core fruit while developing sophisticated tertiary notes.
• Food Pairings: Find it at Winebox, where it pairs perfectly with venison, slow-cooked beef stews, truffle-infused dishes, and rich, aged hard cheeses.
• The 2014 vintage received the following scores: 91pts from Vinous and 90pts from Wine Advocate!
