1991 René Balthazar Cornas
BY NEAL MARTIN |
The Northern Rhône is a region that I would like to know better. There is too little time with Burgundy and Bordeaux under my charge, so I look forward to future reports from my colleague, Nicolas Greinacher. A recent Riesling/Syrah-themed dinner was bejeweled with exquisite bottles and fodder for several Cellar Favorites. This one caught my eye. Balthazar is not a producer I know well, though friends speak highly of their wines, including recent vintages made by René’s son Franck, who took the reins in 2002.
