2007 Thierry Allemand Cornas Reynard, Rhone, France (Stained Label)

Thierry Allemand’s Reynard is his deepest and most structured expression of Cornas, drawn from old-vine Syrah rooted in the appellation’s steep granite slopes. Allemand has compared the 2007 vintage to 2004 for its energy, balance, and classic proportions, favoring finesse and longevity over sheer power. Fermented with whole clusters and raised in seasoned wood with minimal intervention, the wine combines concentration with remarkable lift. Cassis, boysenberry, violet, dark chocolate, licorice, black pepper, graphite, and olive unfold across a vibrant palate with fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity, and a persistent floral, mineral finish.
