Cornas is & always will be one of my absolutely favorite Appellations in whole France. What a stunning showing from Frank Balthazar. The nose shows a beautiful melange of lush dark cherries, smoked meat, violets, crushed stone and a hint of thyme. On the palate this guy is so well balanced with a beautiful integrated acidity. Very round, fine, long finish with a lovely "graphite" touch on the back end. Can play with a lot of different food. Worth every damn penny. — 9 years ago

I had to send a bottle out because it was floral. "But Madame, it is called Fleur de Whatever, you ordered it"

Crisp and fine, this champagne capture the essence of why champagne is hydration for the brain and the flavor and acidity, in my opinion is the elixir of this thing. A great pre gamer w/ 7:30 weather right today ok — 8 years ago
