It's a prestige blanc de blancs which is only made in the best years

Once again

The caressing and strikingly well detailed middle weight flavors are impressively rich yet precise and this too evidences plenty of minerality on the powerful

which hangs on with very good tenacity and echoing floral character

We wanted to make a more elegant wine

Franck Balthazar, Cornas Casimir other_regions It's a prestige blanc deReally lovely, easy going aromatic expression, it has the hot sand, mineral signature of Cornas without excess oak or ripeness. A menthol note brings further interest. It's only medium bodied, but has great freshness and definition. Perfectly balanced, with a grippy, chewy finish. A very fine, naturalistic expression of Cornas that's very rewarding to drink. With only light extraction its so drinkable. I would drink it young, but there's no hurry to.
