92/try from 2010+

this is going to require at least some patience so that the mid-palate can flesh out

Here the expressive and more elegant nose is compositionally similar to that of the Vergers but with even more citrus character

In sum this is Nuits in style but a civilized Nuits

plush and creamy

Franck Balthazar, Cornas Chaillot other_regions_australia 92/try from 2010+Tasted 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.
