Again in 2016, Thierry Allemand has crafted a wine that will rival the greatest Shiraz/Syrahs that have ever been bottled. Thierry's Cornas Chaillot 2016 comes from plots with more clayey soils and relatively young vines, less than 40 years old. It offers a powerfully seductive nose of fruit (blackcurrant, raspberry), spices and scrubland with subtle hints of violets. In the mouth, the wine is rich with dark fruit yet so refined and pure Crisp tannins, the acidity is perfectly mastered and the finish is superb with lingering mineral notes.
This is a superb Cornas that you'd do well to wait a little longer before opening, until at least 2022, and you can enjoy for decades onwards.

Inky ruby. Intense blueberry, incense, exotic spice and mineral qualities on the expansive, seductively perfumed nose. Stains the palate with spice-laced black and blue fruit, spicecake, olive and violet pastille flavors that show real power and tension and no excess fat. The floral and mineral notes drive a strikingly long, pure finish given shape by smooth, steadily building tannins.
