The 2015 Côte de Baleau has a refined and intense bouquet with precise black and red fruit, seamlessly integrated oak and a sense of terroir coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-judged acidity and plenty of finesse and poise towards the finish. This is such a pretty Saint Emilion that you almost overlook its length and persistence. It is one of the best wines that I have tasted from the estate. 92-94 points

Same ownership as Clos Fourtet. Fragrant aromatics, supple fruit and fine, polished tannins. Good length on the finish. More elegance and precision this year. 89 points
