Frank Balthazar took over his family estate in 2002, inheriting some century old vines in prime Rhône Valley terriorty. In the vineyards and the cellar he is a one-man show, a purist and a traditionalist, who perfected his methods of cultivation and vinification. This Cuvée is made from the estates younger vines, only 9 years old, vinified without sulfites from start to finish. 

Pairing: Braised beef, short rib

Grapes: Syrah 

Soil: Granite

Viticulture: Organic 

Notes on the wine from John Livingstone of Drink Rhône:

****

shiny red robe; the nose is nicely reserved, comes with clear raspberry fruit, sweetness from heat, red cherries, a touch of smoke. The palate serves elegant Cornas, iron in a fine spine, crystalline red fruits, has a dainty tread. It’s digestible, beau, charming, a year of purity, definition. It’s good to have a year like this, one with clear virtues. The tannins are tasty and well defined, also. From 2023. If well, stably stored, 2040-42 July 2021
