The Chaillot bottling stems from the decomposed granite and limestone soils of the lower-elevation slopes, a terroir that dictates a more approachable, open-knit structural framework compared to the denser Reynard.\n\nIn the cellar, Allemand utilizes 100% whole-cluster fermentation and minimal sulfur additions, utilizing neutral demi-muids to ensure the wine’s architecture is shaped by fruit and site rather than oak influence.  Despite the warmth and concentration of the 2018 vintage, Allemand’s management of the canopy and harvest window preserved a requisite acidity that balances the year’s significant mid-palate density.\n\nThe result is a wine defined by fine-grained tannins and a persistent saline mineral tension, illustrating the technical rigor behind Allemand’s non-interventionist methodology.","brand":"Branden McRill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46148254695672,"sku":"16320","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_3167.jpg?v=1770161588"},{"product_id":"thierry-allemand-cornas-chaillot-15","title":"2019 Thierry Allemand, Cornas, Chaillot - Magnum","description":"Thierry Allemand’s viticulture is defined by intensive manual labor on the steep, non-mechanizable terraces of Cornas, where he employs organic principles and 100% whole-cluster fermentation without the use of new oak.  This Chaillot cuvée is sourced from the decomposed granite (*gore*) soils of the lower slopes, a site known for producing Syrah with distinct mineral clarity and a more refined tannin profile than the neighboring Reynard.\n\nThe 2019 growing season, characterized by high thermal accumulation and drought conditions, resulted in berries with thick skins and concentrated sugars, yet Allemand successfully preserved the requisite acidity to balance the vintage’s natural density.  On the palate, the wine exhibits significant phenolic weight and architectural, fine-grained tannins that provide a sturdy framework for long-term development in the magnum format.\n\nThe structural result is a Cornas of immense verticality and nerve, where the ripeness of the vintage is channeled through a precise, saline-etched finish.","brand":"Branden McRill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46148254859512,"sku":"16323","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_3061.jpg?v=1767809252"},{"product_id":"2022-franck-balthazar-cornas-chaillot","title":"2022 Franck Balthazar, Cornas, Chaillot","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFranck Balthazar is a staunch traditionalist who makes unabashed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003evin de garde\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
