3 bottles of Cornas Chaillot by Frank Balthazar: - 2 of the 2017 vintage. James Suckling's opinion : "This is maturing beautifully, with aromas of smoked bacon, rye bread and a touch of caramel. Time has mellowed this classic to a wonderful elegance, the fine tannins giving it a graceful line through the long, velvety finish." - 1 of the 2019 vintage rated 18/20 by RVF Franck Balthazard does not betray the spirit of his grandfather Casimir who had founded this tiny estate in the 1920s. The 4 hectares of vines are cultivated by hand and winch (because of the slope) and this pure expression of Syrah in Cornas is exciting! You understood it, rare wines in sight, we keep these bottles like treasures!! In addition, Chaillot is the sacred terroir of Cornas, formed by granite and sand. The wine is sublime, the tannins svelte with a touch of cardamom. This wine has everything to please and for another 15 years.
