Cornas Thierry Allemand
Information
About the producer

Thierry Allemand, a former electromechanical engineer, has become a flagship name among the steep hillside vineyards of Cornas. These days his wines fly off the shelves at very high prices, making up for 20 years of hard work without recognition. 22 workers are employed on his 5-hectare vineyard. The vines are treated with copper and sulphur and the soil is turned with a hand-guided plough and winch or with a mattock. But although he has stopped using herbicides, Thierry Allemand has not sought organic certification, seeing himself as an Artisan rather than a commercial producer. In the winery, no sulphur or additives are used during vinification and the maceration process is slow and gentle, as is the punch-down. The wines are matured for 24 months in used oak barrels followed by a further three months in foudres. This is a top-quality domain managed by a low-key and very talented wine grower.

About the wine

This captivating Cornas is endowed with real flesh and an imposing structure. When young, it can sometimes seem rustic and closed; over time, however, it reveals sensuality and a bouquet of strong, dense aromas, combining with the blackcurrant flavours and notes of leather, herbs and roasted meat.
