Monday, March 4, 2024 - Chaillots vertical with Franck Balthazar: Brooding and tight to begin with, but you could see the greater purity of fruit that Franck was referring to when he said he truly found his style from 2016 onwards. Spell-binding when it opened up at the end of the dinner; a precise, complete and iron fist in a velvet glove kind of wine. Was saying that 2010 and 2016 are my favourite vintages for their uniformity of quality across different regions. The unanimous favourite of those that I knew well, and Franck’s.
