Franck Balthazar Cornas Chaillot 2016

Red
Cornas, France
8.5
WineSaint

Dense and powerfully built, with concentrated cassis, crushed herbs and smoky mineral notes that unfold with serious intensity. The palate shows impressive weight and structure, framed by firm yet polished tannins. Balthazar's natural approach yields remarkable purity and drive. A muscular Cornas built for the cellar.
