Energy runs straight through the 2021 Thierry Allemand Cornas Chaillot, carrying vivid black and blue fruits layered with cracked pepper, cedar spice, and a gentle floral lift. Medium to full in body but never heavy, it stays taut and precise, with fine-grained tannins and a long, poised finish that underscores the vintage’s freshness and elegance.
Lamb shoulder braised with olives and thyme; Duck breast with black pepper and blackberry jus; Charcoal-grilled venison with wild mushrooms

Cornas Chaillot is Thierry Allemand’s more approachable cuvée, a 100% Syrah Cornas drawn mainly from younger vines on the Chaillot and La Côte slopes, where decomposed granite, limestone and clay give a vivid, stony freshness. Made with whole clusters, native yeasts and long aging in neutral oak, it typically shows vibrant black and blue fruits, violets, spice and graphite over crushed rock, with fine but firm tannins that make it both captivating young and capable of graceful mid-term aging.
