The 2020 Côte de Baleau is a beautiful, expressive wine that marries the natural intensity of the year with the sense of classicism that is such a signature. Medium in body, the Côte de Baleau has a bit more mid-palate depth this year, not a bad thing, to match its rather dark-ish personality. Hints of gravel, lavender, spice and dried flowers linger. This is an especially fine vintage. (Antonio Galloni, vinous, February 2023)

Diep rode kleur, prettige geur, nog betere smaak, mooi rond fruitig, volle ronde volwassen smaak. Tannines zacht maar wel aanwezig. Kan al goed gedronken worden, maar nog 2-3 jaar liggen zou voor de tannines geen kwaad kunnen.
