2021 Technical Specifications
Region Cornas
Production Details SAQ's catalogue page headed “Chapoutier Les Arènes Cornas 2021” lists 100% Syrah and 14.5% alcohol, but SAQ cautions that displayed vintage and product information can vary by received lot. The producer's historical 2021 URL redirected to the 2022 page during this check, so these figures are retained only as lot-qualified context and not proposed as clean vintage-wide analytical claims.
