Franck Balthazar Cornas Sans Soufre Ajouté 2019

Red
Cornas, France
8.0
WineSaint

Dark and brooding with intense black fruit, smoky herbs and mineral tension. The no-sulfur approach brings raw energy and textural weight that coats the palate. Chewy tannins frame bitter cherry and spice, building steadily toward a persistent finish. Demands cellaring to reach its full potential.
