Vincent Paris
Vincent Paris is a well-respected wine producer from the northern Rhône region of France, known for his exceptional wines made from the Syrah grape. He is part of a new generation of winemakers who are carrying on the tradition of producing high-quality, terroir-driven wines in the region.
Vincent Paris comes from a family of winemakers, with both his father and grandfather being involved in the wine industry. He began working in the family vineyards at a young age and quickly developed a passion for winemaking. After studying viticulture and oenology, he took over the family's small estate in Cornas, a small appellation in the northern Rhône known for its powerful and complex Syrah wines.
The northern Rhône region is known for its cool climate and steep, terraced vineyards, which are situated on the slopes of the Rhône River. This unique terroir, combined with Vincent's meticulous care in the vineyard, results in wines that are full of character and express the distinctiveness of the region.
Vincent Paris produces wines from three different appellations within the northern Rhône: Cornas, Saint-Joseph, and Côte-Rôtie. His Cornas wines are considered to be his flagship wines, as this is where he has the most experience and expertise. These wines are known for their intensity and complexity, with flavors of black fruit, spice, and earth.
In addition to his red wines, Vincent Paris also produces a small amount of white wine from the Roussanne grape, which is grown on a small plot of land in Saint-Joseph. This white wine is a rare gem from the northern Rhône, known for its rich and aromatic profile.
Vincent Paris is committed to sustainable and organic farming practices, and all of his wines are made using minimal intervention in the cellar. This allows the true expression of the terroir to shine through in each bottle.

Vincent Paris is a winemaker based in the northern Rhône Valley, producing wines within the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. Crozes-Hermitage is the largest appellation in the northern Rhône, surrounding the more celebrated hill of Hermitage and covering a broad mix of granite slopes and flatter alluvial plains along the Rhône river. The appellation produces both red and white wines, though red Syrah is its dominant expression.
Northern Rhône Syrah is distinct from its southern counterparts, typically more structured, with higher acidity, firm tannins, and a savory, peppery character often described in terms of dark olive, smoked meat, and violet aromatics. Crozes-Hermitage reds can vary considerably in weight and complexity depending on whether the fruit comes from the granitic hillside parcels closer to Hermitage or the more alluvial, lower-lying sites. The best examples are capable of genuine aging, developing earthy and meaty complexity over time.
The current range includes a Crozes-Hermitage Sélection from the 2020 vintage, made entirely from Syrah. The term "Sélection" in this context suggests a curated or entry-level bottling within the producer's lineup, crafted from selected parcels within the appellation.
