PRE-ORDER
2013 | VIVINO 4.0
The 2013 Château Côte de Baleau is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé that defied a difficult, wet vintage through strict selection. It features a blend dominated by Merlot (approx. 88-95%) and Cabernet Franc, resulting in a fresh, bright wine with red cherry, plum, and earthy notes, featuring a soft, velvety texture.
2018 | JS 93
A deep color with blackcurrant, blackberry and raspberry tones. Spicy, slightly toasted notes. After a round, tender entry on the palate, great freshness comes through with silky, flavorsome tannins, giving superb length of flavor and a lingering finish.
2021 | WE 93
Owned by the Cuvelier family, owners of Premier Grand Cru Classé Clos Fourtet, this estate of 44 acres has produced an elegant wine. A fine line of fresh acidity cuts through perfumed black fruits and still-firm tannins. The wine should be ready in 2027.
About Winery
Château Côte de Baleau, a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé property, has a rich history rooted in the Reiffers family, who were granted the estate in the 17th century by King Louis XIV. The estate, known for its elegant 19th-century chateau, was later managed by Sophie Fourcade, who significantly improved wine quality. In 2013, the property was acquired by the Cuvelier family, owners of Château Poujeaux and Clos Fourtet.
