Tasting notes
Bright, deep ruby-red. Explosively perfumed aromas of wild strawberry, redcurrant, blackberry, violet and gunflint. Perfumed, juicy and precise in the mouth, with terrific lift and elegance. Impressively concentrated wine, finishing with very fine tannins and terrific peppery length. Almost Cote-Rotie-like in its aromatic character.

Good bright ruby. Precise aromas of black fruits, black olive and pepper. Dense and peppery in the mouth, with slightly sauvage flavors of blackberry, minerals and game. Tannins are strong but nicely supported by the wine's impressive density.
About the producer
Allemand’s wines set the benchmark for Cornas: expressive Syrahs crafted with uncompromising traditional methods and released in tiny quantities. From the 1980s, he revived abandoned vineyards on Cornas’s steep granite slopes, building his domaine without inherited land or financial support.
