WINE DESCRIPTION

This dark, intense red wine from Thierry Allemand is made in the Cornas appellation of the Northern Rhône Valley of France. The ‘Les Chaillot’ expression is a blend of 90% Syrah and 10% Viognier, which offer a deep and concentrated bouquet of ripe blackberry, wild herbs and pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with a velvety texture and a long finish. The well-integrated tannins add complexity and depth to the wine, making it a great choice for aging. Enjoy with a delicious beef stew or a hearty winter salad.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Thierry Allemand Cornas 'Les Chaillot' is an impressive, powerful yet elegant expression of Syrah.On the nose, there are intense aromas of blackberry, blueberry and ripe cherry, along with subtle hints of licorice, menthol, and smoked meats. On the palate, there is a pleasant balance between dark fruit flavors and ripe tannins, with a long, complex finish of dark chocolate, tobacco, and crushed rock. This is an exquisite wine that is sure to impress.

ORIGINS

Winery: Thierry Allemand

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
