{"product_id":"thierry-allemand-cornas-reynard-2008","title":"Thierry Allemand, Cornas Reynard, 2008","description":"A 2008 Reynard is a rare chance to drink Thierry Allemand's flagship Cornas with real bottle age behind it. Production is tiny, so older vintages like this barely show up. Reynard is made entirely from the estate's older vines, 34 to 90 years old and rooted in decomposed granite, including parcels Allemand bought from the legendary Noël Verset. It isn't strictly a single-vineyard wine: his oldest Chaillot vines sometimes go into it, the mix changes from year to year, and he vinifies every parcel separately. The farming is organic and he uses very little sulfur (he even makes a small amount of Reynard with none at all). Allemand learned his craft from Robert Michel, who once saved his life when he fell into a cask of wine, and he founded his own domaine in 1982. When we visited his cellar, he opened two bottles of 2002 Reynard side by side, one bottled with no sulfur and one with a little added. With Allemand, the grower matters more than the vintage chart, and if you've wanted to see what Reynard turns into with time, this is your bottle.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51021214875705,"sku":"NYC-[PVT]-SRSN10261026-103026-30-7","price":489.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/flatiron-generic-bottle.jpg?v=1793448556","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/thierry-allemand-cornas-reynard-2008","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
