We're talking to you about his Winery
Today, Franck Balthazar 's Cornas are organic and in the cellar, the vinification tends towards "nature": whole harvest and indigenous yeasts, long and gentle maceration over a period of 13 to 14 days. The maturing, in order to reflect the terroir and the vintage, is carried out in 600-litre barrels which are at least 5 years old so as not to make the wine overly woody. The wine is not filtered or fined with a minimum of sulphites for stabilisation. Finally, Franck offers us today a cuvée without added sulfur, vibrant and sensitive, the result of all these years of hard work. Congratulations! In 2002, the vineyard covered 1.2 hectares and has grown to 4 hectares. | Franck Balthazar works alone on the estate, except for harvesting and working the sometimes 60% sloping soils. The Winery is planted with Syrah in 3 parcels and the soils are granitic: 1.4 ha at the place called "Chaillot", with vines dating from the end of the 19th century. 0.4 ha at the place called "Mazards", vines dating from 1961. 1.7 ha at the place called "Legre", younger vines from 2005. Gradually Franck Balthazar has reworked his soils with the "old" ones (Juge, Clape, Voge) as a model and with Thierry Allemand, THE winemaker nature in Cornas, as his target. Since 2006, all the vines are treated only with sulphur and copper powder. |
