Gorgeous energy and tension drive this traditional Cornas. Wild cherry and blackcurrant flow with graphite, violet and white pepper in a focused, mineral-driven frame. The tannins are fine but persistent, building slowly through a long, penetrating finish. Needs time to fully integrate but rewards patience now with air.

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.
