Thierry Allemand, Cornas Chaillots, 2014
Cult Cornas from the appellation's greatest living traditionalist, in a classical vintage and a softer style. Thierry Allemand learned his craft apprenticing under Robert Michel by day and the legendary Noël Verset by night before going solo, and his Chaillot cuvée comes from the steep east/southeast-facing slopes above the village—the gentler counterpoint to his more powerful Reynard bottling. 2014 was a classical Northern Rhône vintage: cooler, more lifted, less weight than the warmer years, which suits Chaillot's natural elegance perfectly. Eleven years on, this has settled into prime drinking territory, where Allemand's no-sulfur-until-bottling, minimalist hand lets Cornas speak in its native dialect of black fruit, violet, iron, and smoke. One of the few addresses where the legend matches the wine in the glass.
