Description

The vines for Tour Baladoz are partially on the limestone plateau and partially in a beautiful green bowl filled entirely with vines, on the eastern edge of St Emilion towards St Etienne de Lisse, which gives them the benefit of two different soils, limestone and clay.

Dense purple black with a nose of intense earthy black fruit, crushed and creamed, tactile with a lightly soured black fruit note. On the palate big black fruit, ripe and sweet with a hint mulberry, spiced and again tactile with hints of purple fruits plus a touch of cherryade going to a long, grilled, lush, smoky finish.

The 2020 Tour Baladoz is a rich, heady Saint-Emilion. Black cherry, mocha, leather, tobacco, incense, dried herbs and cedar all build effortlessly in this mid-weight, supple Saint-Emilion that will drink well pretty much right out of the gate. There’s lovely complexity and plenty of character here. [Antonio Galloni, 23/02/2023]

Cask sample. Opulent nose just brimming with crushed blackberries, cinnamon spice and damson fruit. Silky smooth palate with fine tannins and real power of sweet ripe fruit. A note of coffee oak on the finish, hedonistic and full on but appealing. (AC) [28/05/2021]
