Location
Northern Rhône - Cornas
This is a Cornas estate that’s rapidly gaining a strong reputation. Comparable in some respects to Domaine Thierry Allemand, Franck Balthazar is another small estate (3.5ha), that works organically, with whole bunches, using low or no added sulfites. A notable difference is that Balthazar’s family have a long history of winemaking in the village – Franck’s grandfather Casimir established the estate in 1931. Expressive wines that are approachable young.
