The 2019 Côte de Baleau is more opulent on the nose than some of its peers: exuberant, plush redcurrant and Morello cherries, though with aeration it adds more blackberry and subtle marine aromas, a bit of moorland peat even. The palate is medium-bodied with fine but sturdy tannins. This feels cohesive, almost clinical, especially towards the impressively precise and mineral-driven finish. I cannot recall a Côte de Baleau with this degree of terroir expression. Bon vin! - Neil Martin

The 2019 Château Côte De Baleau shows beautifully, with lots of spicy red and black fruits, subtle background oak, medium to full body, and a great finish. I loved the 2016 and 2018, and this is certainly in the same ballpark. - Jeb Dunnuck

A rich, fruity red, showing berry, spice and walnut character. Medium-bodied with round, soft and refined tannins and a medium finish. - James Suckling

Austere attack to the wine, with cassis and blueberry fruits that show salinity and mouthwatering qualities but also the flipside of pronounced acidity. This has plenty of life ahead, with a texture that softens as the charred oak adds sweetness and width. Owned by the Cuvelier family with Michel Rolland as consultant.
