Domaine Balthazar — Winery in Cornas

The vineyards include fifty-year-old vines in Mazards and La Côte, but also a 1914 planting of Petite Syrah in the respected Chaillot vineyard, taken over from Noël Verset. His approach is so pure and dedicated that he works many of his plots with a horse and uses no herbicides. Visits by appointment. The wines sell out almost immediately on release, so a visit is the most direct way to get hold of a bottle.
