Nestled on the steep slopes of the appellation, his Syrah vines sink their roots into an austere granite base, from which wines of telluric depth are born. Here, family history blends with a contemporary vision of wine, respectful of the place and the living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"805\" data-end=\"854\"\u003e Artisanal viticulture without artifice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"902\" data-end=\"1350\"\u003e Since the early 2010s, the estate has been committed to organic farming, with extreme attention paid to working the soil: pickaxe, winch, no herbicides or pesticides, and a constant search for the natural balance of the vine. Everything is done by hand, in a spirit of peasant continuity. Yields are low, the grapes harvested at perfect ripeness, to preserve the energy of the fruit and the frankness of the place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1407\"\u003e Whole vinifications, for whole wines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1900\"\u003e In the cellar, nothing smooths or distorts the grape's identity. The bunches are vinified whole, fermentations are initiated by indigenous yeasts, macerations are long, and aging is carried out in aged demi-muids for 12 to 18 months. Sulfur is used sparingly. The result is vibrant, intense wines with racy tannins and a well-established minerality—Cornas that stand the test of time, without disguise or compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1902\" data-end=\"1945\"\u003e Wild elegance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1983\" data-end=\"2458\"\u003e Raised in the footsteps of his father, René, and an admirer of both the classicism of Pierre-Marie Clape and the passion of Thierry Allemand, Franck Balthazar forges his own path: one of wild elegance and unfussy craftsmanship. His Cornas embody a magnificent tension between strength and restraint, substance and verticality. Through his vintages, he perpetuates ancient expertise while instilling a new consciousness—that of a free, inhabited, essential wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chaillot-2020-franck-balthazar","title":"Chaillot 2020 - Franck Balthazar","description":"\u003cp\u003e 👨🏼‍🌾 Red wine made by \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eFranck Balthazar.\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eF.

Made from granite plots, the wine is gently vinified with whole clusters and aged in old barrels. The nose opens with red and black fruits, a floral touch, and a hint of spice. The palate is softer, more immediate, with fine tannins and a freshness that adds rhythm. A more open Cornas, but still very accurate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e📍Region: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mireehaute.com\/collections\/rhone\"\u003eRhône\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n🍇Grape variety: Syrah\u003cbr\u003e\n📆Vintage: 2023\u003cbr\u003e\n% Alcohol content: 13°\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllergens: contains sulfites\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Franck Balthazar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57251118350711,"sku":"FBALTHAZARCJU23","price":70.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/6947\/2019\/files\/ac5b61ef9383ddc608ba8a3f6c01c755.png?v=1782896229"},{"product_id":"chaillot-2023-franck-balthazar","title":"Chaillot 2023 - Franck Balthazar","description":"\u003cp data-oe-version=\"1.2\"\u003e👨🏼‍🌾 Red Wine made by \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eFranck Balthazar. \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn iconic cuvée from the historic terroir of Chaillot, on decomposed granite.
