Domaine Thierry Allemand Cornas Reynard 2018

Domaine Thierry Allemand’s 2018 Cornas Reynard is a sought-after expression of Syrah from one of the appellation’s most recognised granite slopes. Reynard is prized for wines that combine dark-fruited intensity with savoury complexity and the structure to develop over time.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, dark appearance, with aromas that may include black berries, pepper, violets and earthy, smoky nuances. On the palate, ripe fruit meets firm tannins and a mineral, savoury character, with the 2018 vintage’s warmth lending richness. With suitable cellaring, the wine should continue to evolve, gaining further complexity over the coming years.

Production
Reynard is a steep, granite-rich hillside site in Cornas, where conditions favour concentrated Syrah. Thierry Allemand is known for hands-on work in the vineyards and a traditional, low-intervention cellar approach, including whole-cluster fermentation and ageing in older wooden casks. Specific harvest and élevage details for this bottle have not been provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C with a little time in the glass. It pairs naturally with roast lamb, grilled or braised beef, game and mushroom dishes. Decanting for one to two hours can help open a young bottle; older bottles may benefit from gentler handling and a shorter time in the decanter.

Producer
Thierry Allemand has become one of Cornas’s defining independent vignerons, helping bring renewed attention to the appellation’s powerful, age-worthy Syrah. His small-scale domaine is particularly associated with carefully tended hillside vineyards and a restrained approach in the cellar. The Reynard bottling is among the estate’s best-known wines.
