Images of Cornas

The village of Cornas

Largely east-facing slopes at the southern part of the appellation – lieu-dit Combe on the left, lieu-dit Patou on the right

The slope in the background features the south-facing lieu-dit Reynard (left side, in shadow) and the west and south-facing lieu-dit La Geynale (spread around the pyramid-shaped hill to the right)

Soils here is decomposed granite, the rocks easily crumble in your hands to coarse sand
