In a few words ...
Château Côte de Baleau's goal was to become one of Saint-Emilion's Grands Crus Classés... This has now been achieved with the 2012 vintage, consecrated by the appellation's famous prize list. The wine of Côte de Baleau seduces with its silkiness and greedy notes of black fruit, while retaining a discreet, elegant side. Suitable for laying down, it will also charm in its youth with its black fruit. James Suckling ( 91 )

Black and red fruits, a good dose of acidity and good tannic structure, a finish that never ends: so very good to drink today.
