Q

Thierry Allemand Production

A
  • Farms organically, working steep, terraced vineyards all by hand (no tractor!)
  • Dense plantings naturally reduce yields (< 30 hectoliters per hectare)
  • All wines are fermented in stainless steel and open-top wooden vats
  • Stems left on cluster during fermentation
  • Punch-downs by foot
  • All wines are vinified separately
  • Wines aged in foudres and barriques for 24 months before final blending and bottling
  • Finished wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered
  • Very low doses of sulfur, sometimes none at all

Cornas “Les Chaillots”:

• Cuvée made up of all younger vines

Cornas “Reynard”:

• Cuvée made up of all older vines, a portion of which were purchased from Noël Verset
