WineSaint
Gorgeous energy from Balthazar's blend of young vines and 1961 plantings in Les Mazards. Black fruit and violets flow with mineral precision, while firm but ripe tannins carry layers of spiced plum and dark cherry. The traditional winemaking shows in the wine's structured elegance and long, savory finish.
