2022 Cornas Cuvée Juliette, Franck Balthazar
Franck inherited this parcel from his grandfather, and replanted it in 2015 and 2016. So the first vintage released was the 2019, and only in tiny volumes. Like his other wines, it shows a master of whole-bunch at work, in total command of low-intervention élevage. In contrast to the Casimir, this is broad-shouldered and muscular, perhaps thanks to the high proportion of clay in the soil here.
