WineSaint

Dark berry fruit flows with spice and mineral precision. The texture shows remarkable polish for such a young-vine bottling, with supple tannins that never overwhelm the concentrated fruit core. Cedar and dried herbs add complexity to the long, graceful finish. Drink now-2022.

Franck Balthazar

Franck Balthazar makes small-production Cornas from old vines on the granite slopes above the village, working with minimal intervention and bottling several distinct cuvées from different parcels and vine ages.
