Who is Thierry Allemand and why are his Cornas wines so sought after?
Thierry Allemand is a winemaker from Ardèche based in Cornas, in the northern Rhône Valley. A former electromechanical engineer, he acquired his first plots as early as 1980 and patiently built an estate of approximately 5 hectares on very steep terraced hillsides. His tireless work, carried out largely by hand — a winch and a pickaxe being the only tools possible on these steep slopes — earned him worldwide recognition. Today supported by his son Théo, Thierry Allemand is considered one of the most important artisan winemakers of the Cornas appellation, to whose prestige he has greatly contributed.
