Cornas Chaillots 2017 Red

Thierry Allemand

Low in stock

€225,00

This Cornas is a benchmark for the appellation. Pure and expressive, it benefits from several years of cellar aging. When tasted, it surprises with notes of smoked cured meats, fruit, and black tea. The palate is spicy. The texture is dense: the tannins are present but extremely fine. The finish is long. A great wine made using very natural methods.

The Cornas Chaillot 2017 is one of Thierry Allemand's great expressions of Syrah. Made from several lieux-dits with granitic soils in Cornas, this cuvée typically comes from the estate's younger vines and is distinguished by a particularly refined and ethereal expression. The 2017 vintage brings beautiful ripeness, with a deep nose of black and red fruits, violet, pepper, smoke, and black tea. The palate is dense without ever becoming massive, supported by very fine tannins, beautiful freshness, and a long, spicy finish.

100% Syrah, the grapes are vinified in whole bunches, without sulfur during fermentation, with gentle punch-downs. The wine is then aged for 18 to 24 months in old wood, with no new wood, before bottling without filtration and with only a light sulfiting if necessary. A great Cornas that is currently evolving beautifully, ideal with roast leg of lamb, roasted pigeon, game, or a fine cut of beef.
