Allemand takes Cornas to a level of expressiveness and finesse that no one can compete with. His 2013 Reynard is a powerful example of this.
2013 in the northern Rhône produced mineral, structured wines with a vibrant core of acidity. Allemand captures the vintage in all of its elegance, harmony, and electric vibrancy. They're absolutely gorgeous wines.
Allemand's 2013s exemplify the incredible amount of fine-ness, detail, and transparency he's able to achieve. Nobody renders Cornas like Allemand, and it's in vintages like 2013 and 2010 where his style is expressed with pitch-perfect clarity. The 2013 is deep, structured, and has beautiful verve and silky tannins.
