This too is worthy of your attention provided you can allow it at least a few years of cellar time first

Eighty percent of the wine spent a year in new oak barrels

It would be nice to see a little more mid-palate depth and persistence

I don't see any further improvement potential

The oak is just about integrated

Franck Balthazar, Cornas Chaillot other_regions This too is worthy ofTasted from demi muid, the 2018 Cornas Chaillot looks as if will rival the 2017. It features delicate tendrils of herbal and tea like complexity entwined with dark, cassis and blackberry fruit. Full bodied and rich, it seems velvety at first, then turns dusty and chewy on the lengthy finish. One for the cellar.
