This red from Château Côte de Baleau is perfect for all wine lovers who like it dry. However, it is never sparse or brittle, but round and supple. On the tongue, this punchy red wine is characterized by an immensely silky texture. The finale of this red wine with good aging potential from the wine-growing region of Bordeaux, more precisely from Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, finally impresses with good reverberation.
