Cornas, France

WineSaint
Explosive aromatics leap from the glass. Kirsch, violet and granite minerality showcase the Chaillot site beautifully. Dense yet vibrant on the palate, with spiced cherry and cassis building to an exotic, floral finish. Classic northern Rhône power wrapped in remarkable precision and freshness.
