Château Côte de Baleau 2022

Tasting Notes

The 2022 Côte de Baleau has a well-defined bouquet with black cherries, bilberry and floral scents, quite complex and focused. The oak is nicely integrated here. The palate is mediumbodied with more pliant tannins than many of its peers, lending it a rounded texture, beautifully balanced with a minerally finish. This represents a big step up from the 2021. Drinking window: 2027-2037. (Neal Martin,vinous.com)
