Northern Rhône 2019 reds – the rest

Tuesday 1 December 2020
Théo, son of Thierry Allemand of Cornas, northern Rhône

See also this guide to our coverage of Rhône 2019.

Both St-Joseph and Cornas show real quality in 2019, with Cornas being on the slightly more powerful, riper spectrum. Pierre Gonon’s St-Joseph is shaping up beautifully, as are Thierry Allemand’s brooding Cornas offerings. Above is Thierry’s son Théo.

These 143 wines are grouped by appellation St-Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage and Cornas – and listed in descending score order, but you can reorder the wines of each appellation using the menu below.
