The distinguishing feature of the Cornas vineyard lies in its particular amphitheater shape It is believed that the Rhone River has shaped the appellation and carved out a very steep incline right inside it
The soil is shallow and composed mostly of massive granites rich in potassium, iron, and magnesium It also enjoys a microclimate created by a combination of sun and mistral wind.
