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

This too is explicitly built for the long haul and is a wine that’s going to need at least a decade first

Franck Balthazar, Cornas Chaillot other_regions_australia In any caseTasted 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.
