The 2015 Thierry Allemand Cornas “Les Chaillot” is a powerful yet refined Syrah that earned 96 points from Vinous, confirming its place among the standout recent vintages. Deep ruby in color, it opens with a layered bouquet of boysenberry, cherry liqueur, violet, smoke, spice, and a touch of olive. The palate is richly concentrated yet vibrant, delivering dark berry preserves, cola, floral pastilles, and spice cake, all framed by polished tannins and lively freshness. Finishing long and velvety with echoes of blue fruit and spice, it exemplifies the balance of intensity and elegance that defines Allemand’s Cornas.
