Franck Balthazar’s 2022 Cornas Cuvée Juliette hails from steep, granitic terraces in the northern Rhône, capturing the power and finesse of Syrah on prime Cornas terroir. Sourced from head-trained vines and indigenous yeasts, it’s fermented in stainless steel before aging in seasoned barrels to preserve purity.

The result is a focused, medium-bodied Syrah with structured tannins, savory minerality, and village-level intensity. It exemplifies Balthazar’s evolving portfolio and respect for Cornas tradition.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2022 Cornas Juliette was vinified without any sulfur additions up until bottling, where 1.5 grams per liter were added for protection. Black cherry compote, licorice, black plum, cedar and cured meat aromas frame its savory aromatic profile. Full-bodied, round and generous, the 2022 clocks out with persistent cadence on the nuanced finish." -Nicolas Greinacher

Robert Parker

RP 94
"Produced at a limited yield of eight hectoliters per hectare, the 2022 Cornas Juliette reveals a complex, dense bouquet of spices, dark cherries, flowers and licorice mingled with lovely notes of pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it's compact and framed by an impressive chassis of structured tannins. Originating from a late-maturing (two weeks later than in Les Chaillots), south-facing plot at 370 meters above sea level on granite and clay soils, it delivers a long, powerful and slightly green finish. This robust and impressive wine will benefit from some time to mellow and fully express its potential." -Yohan Castaing
