Thierry Allemand is a revered producer in the Northern Rhône, known for his meticulous approach to winemaking and his dedication to the Cornas appellation. The Cornas Chaillot is crafted from 100% Syrah grapes, sourced from the Chaillot vineyard, which is renowned for its steep, granitic slopes. Allemand employs traditional winemaking techniques, including whole-cluster fermentation and aging in neutral oak barrels, to preserve the purity and expression of the terroir. The wine exhibits a complex flavor profile with notes of dark berries, black olives, and a hint of pepper, supported by firm tannins and vibrant acidity. It pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game dishes, and aged cheeses.

The 2021 Cornas Chaillot outperforms the rustic 2020 I tasted on the same occasion. Ripe black fruit, graphite, cedar, stemmy facets and peppery nuances are all amplified in the glass. Intense and expressive, the medium- to full-bodied 2021 is a gorgeous Chaillot, packing a stunning energetic lift on the mid-palate. Checking out with timeless elegance on the refined finish, the 2021 is a showstopper.
