Thierry Allemand
Chaillot Cornas Syrah



After 2 hours in the decanter 2015 Chaillot is showing beautifully, fully open and giving wafting distinctive Allemand aromas with a seductive, mineral inflicted palette and fine grained tannins. It shows the warmth of the vintage but not at all hot, and its liquid rock minerality and floral lift adds a seamless balance to its fruit character. This is going to keep getting better. Love these wines.

WotN. Just off-the-charts balance and complexity that doesn’t yell at you.

Killer wine with an explosive nose needs more time but had to have to satisfy my Allemand crave. Lots of meat, iron, graphite, olive, pepper & violet. Always an amazing experience!
