Franck Balthazar, Cornas Chaillots, 2016
When Balthazar's top 2016s landed, his Chaillot was the one we'd been waiting for. This is the legendary bottling from a third-generation Cornas purist who farms organically and keeps his winemaking dead precise. Chaillot is 100% Syrah from one of Cornas's great lieux-dits, and 2016 was a classic vintage in the northern Rhone. It's the most age-worthy wine in the lineup. Decant it now if you must, but it has years ahead of it.
