New Chaillot from Cornas Luminary - Theirry Allemand

Today, we have a new allocation from Thierry Allemand, one of Northern Rhône's luminary producers.

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.

2022 Thierry Allemand Cornas Chaillot
WA95, CT96
"The 2022 Cornas Les Chaillots from Thierry Allemand was crafted by his son Théo using the same method as his father: 100% whole bunches, two to three days of carbon maceration and punching down instead of pumping over. Evoking a pure, delicate and gourmand bouquet of violet, mulberries and dark berries, it's medium to full-bodied, dense and firm with a crystalline, pure texture and an energetic, tense mid-palate framed by somewhat stringy tannins, typical of whole bunches. Concluding with a long, ethereal and floral finish, this is a superb wine."

2023 Thierry Allemand Cornas Chaillot
WA94, CT95
"Notes of mulberries, violet and blueberry mingled with subtle carnal nuances preface the 2023 Cornas Les Chaillots, a medium- to full-bodied, dense and structured wine with a tensile, vibrant profile framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a long, ethereal, violet-inflected finish. Produced at a yield of 32 hectoliters per hectare—a healthy figure for the estate—it will require patience in the cellar."
-Yohan Castaing
