Depth and power define this 2010 Thierry Allemand Cornas Reynard, a wine that saturates the senses with black and blue fruits, violet, licorice, cracked pepper and a streak of stone. On the palate it feels both dense and finely cut, with layers of plum and dark berry framed by bright acidity and tightly woven, polished tannins that promise long development. The finish is long, savory and concentrated, showing why this vintage is regarded as one of the great, ageworthy Reynards of recent decades.
Rosemary-braised lamb shank; Dry-aged ribeye with peppercorn jus; Duck breast with blackberry reduction

Cornas Reynard is Thierry Allemand’s flagship old-vine Cornas, a 100% Syrah cuvée drawn from his oldest, steep, granitic parcels in the Reynard climat and surrounding ancient terraces once farmed by Noël and Louis Verset. Organically worked and whole-cluster fermented, then aged about two years in used foudres and barriques, it’s renowned for combining deep, dark, mineral-inflected power with remarkable finesse, perfume, and longevity, and is widely regarded as one of the reference wines of the Cornas appellation.
