DOMAINE BALTHAZAR

The reins of the Balthazar estate passed from father René to his son Franck in 2002, but the estate has kept its reputation as a producer of an authentic cornas. The 2 hectares of the estate have been in the family since the First World War, but the current plan has been a gradual expansion with about ten hectares planted over a five-year period. Despite everything, Franck keeps the traditional side of his father: here, no new barrels! It is a wine that needs to be forgotten in the cellar to flourish for a few years. Excellent quality/price ratio, particularly the 1999 vintage, which still remains one of the references. It's better to call before you come by.
