Inky and brooding, this delivers serious Cornas power. Wild herbs, black olive and smoky mineral notes weave through dense dark fruit. The structure is formidable - broad tannins grip the palate with authority. This demands patience through 2030.

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.
