Franck Balthazar, Cornas Chaillot other_regions Eighty percent of the wine

Eighty percent of the wine spent a year in new oak barrels

Drink it over the next 6-7 years

The oak is just about integrated

I don't see any further improvement potential

This too is worthy of your attention provided you can allow it at least a few years of cellar time first

Franck Balthazar, Cornas Chaillot other_regions Eighty percent of the wineTasted from demi muid, the 2018 Cornas Chaillot looks as if will rival the 2017. It features delicate tendrils of herbal and tea like complexity entwined with dark, cassis and blackberry fruit. Full bodied and rich, it seems velvety at first, then turns dusty and chewy on the lengthy finish. One for the cellar.
