2022 Franck Balthazar, Cornas, Casimir Balthazar

Franck Balthazar is a staunch traditionalist who makes unabashed vin de garde. Many collectors know once these elegant, impeccably farmed wines age around 10 years, they can go toe to toe with any other Rhône wine. The Cuvée Casimir, from exuberant 10-year-old vines, drinks well earlier.
