Franck Balthazar Cornas Chaillot 2017

Cornas, France

WineSaint
Inky cassis and charred earth define this powerhouse from Chaillot vineyard. Dense layers of black olive, cracked pepper and roasted herbs build with impressive weight. Firm, dusty tannins provide classic Cornas backbone while maintaining Balthazar's characteristic elegance. Needs time to integrate fully.
