Description: Château Côte de Baleau – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a refined red Bordeaux from the Right Bank of Saint‑Émilion, crafted primarily from Merlot with supporting Cabernet Franc and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2021 vintage shows a deep ruby color with purple highlights and opens with expressive aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackcurrant, layered with subtle notes of cedar, spice, tobacco, and a hint of cocoa. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky, well-integrated tannins and fresh acidity that provide balance and elegance. The finish is smooth and persistent, marked by dark fruit and gentle mineral nuances.
