Franck Balthazar Cornas Chaillot 2022
Red
Cornas, France
8.0
WineSaint
Dark and brooding, with black fruit and iron minerality driving the attack. Earthy undertones of cedar and green herbs add savory complexity. The structure is formidable. Dense tannins and crackling acidity that will need cellaring through 2028 to integrate fully.
