About this product
Thierry Allemand's Reynard is among the Northern Rhône's most extraordinary wines: old-vine Syrah from 60-80+ year terraced granite vines in Cornas. Intense, wild, and profound — deep violet/black with black olive, graphite, smoked meat, violets, and concentrated dark fruit. The wine needs 10-15 years' aging but rewards extraordinary patience: at 20 years, Reynard achieves complexity rivalling the greatest Northern Rhône wines. Highly allocated.

Thierry Allemand Reynard's graphite intensity and wild dark fruit demands the purest beef preparation — côte de boeuf grilled over charcoal, with no sauce to interrupt the wine-beef dialogue. The wine's smoked meat character mirrors the char; bone marrow amplifies the Syrah's fat integration; black pepper echoes Cornas's wild spice character. A pairing of elemental power between Cornas and the finest beef cut.

complement
Allemand Reynard's wild, concentrated Cornas character achieves its most fitting pairing with wild boar — the game's intensity matches the wine's power while the dark berry sauce echoes the Syrah's fruit concentration. Celeriac provides earthy starchy balance; the slow braise softens the wine's still-youthful tannin in earlier vintages. A pairing of wild Rhône terroir harmony.
