The 2014 Thierry Allemand Cornas “Les Chaillot” is a refined and expressive Syrah that earned 95 points from Vinous, praised for its depth and elegance. It opens with dark fruit layered with star anise, cardamom, violets, and savory hints of meat and black olive, underscored by crushed stone minerality. Medium-bodied and structured with fine-grained tannins, it shows a lively saline edge and notes of black raspberry and white pepper that carry into a long, gripping finish. Both immediately captivating and cellar-worthy, it highlights the finesse and complexity that define Allemand’s Cornas.
