'Legendary Cornas in the making' 2020 Thierry Allemand

Thierry Allemand emerged from Cornas as one of the appellation's most passionate, forward-thinking vignerons since the 1980s. Relying on no winemaking lineage, he turned to Cornas legends, such as Robert Michel, for guidance before acquiring his first plot in 1981. His holdings have grown since then, though they amount to just 3.4-hectares (8.4-acres) today. Today, Thierry's son, Théo, has assumed much of this address's responsibilities with the same exacting attention to detail as his father.

No matter the region, terroir and minimal intervention have both proven themselves elements for exceptional wines, and the Allemand name remains as one of Northern Rhône's luminary examples.

2020 Thierry Allemand Cornas Chaillot
JD97
"The 2020 Cornas Chaillot comes from a mix of lieux-dits (it's mostly Chaillot) as well as some younger vines. It's an incredible wine in its own right and certainly doesn't give much in terms quality to its big brother. Awesome aromatics of crème de cassis, violets, crushed stone, and bouquet garni-like notes all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, concentrated mid-palate, and ultra-fine tannins. It's a touch more finesse-driven and elegant compared to the Reynard and should round into form with just 5-7 years of bottle age. This is legit awesome Cornas that will have 20-25 years of ultimate longevity."

2020 Thierry Allemand Cornas Reynard
JD98+
"The 2020 Cornas Reynard will most likely merit a perfect rating in a decade, and it's a legendary Cornas in the making. Saturated purple-hued, with incredible aromatics of cassis, liquid violets, new leather, and bloody, iron, meaty nuances, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, building tannins, and flawless overall balance. It has an inward, massive, backward style (it reminds me slightly of the 2010) and tastes like the blood of Cornas. It will need 7-8 years (a decade will be better) to hit the early stages of its prime drinking wine and will absolutely blow you away over the following two decades."
