WINE DESCRIPTION

This Thierry Allemand Cornas 'Reynard' is a powerful and deeply concentrated expression of Syrah from the esteemed appellation of Cornas. The nose is intense, with notes of blackberry, plums, licorice, black pepper, and hints of smoked meat. It is a highly sought-after wine among collectors and connoisseurs, due to its limited production, exceptional quality, and high aging potential. It is considered one of the top wines of the Northern Rhône region, and is best enjoyed after several years of aging to allow the wine's complex flavors and aromas to fully develop.

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.
