Dark-toned fruit rushes out of the glass, with plum, blackcurrant and black cherry framed by florals and a subtle earthy savor, giving Thierry Allemand Cornas Reynard 2021 a striking mix of depth and lift. On the palate it feels focused and layered rather than heavy, with cool, vibrant fruit, fine-grained tannins and an energy that carries the flavors in a very long, detailed finish. This vintage shows both the seriousness and the finesse of Reynard in a slightly more refreshing, high-toned style than in richer years.

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.
