Franck Balthazar 2015

Cornas, France

Dense aromas of dark cherry and violet show striking clarity. The palate is concentrated and mineral-driven, with ripe blackfruit and floral lift. Juicy acidity cuts through the richness while polished tannins provide structure without heaviness. Balthazar's natural approach delivers impressive purity.
