Château Belle Assise Coureau 2014
Saint-Émilion Grand Cru – Mature & Ready to Drink
A beautifully matured Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, now at an ideal stage of evolution. The 2014 vintage offers a harmonious balance of developed complexity and remaining freshness.
Tasting Notes
Deep garnet with subtle signs of maturity.
The nose reveals coffee, tobacco, and soft spice, layered over ripe red and dark fruit.
On the palate, the wine is velvety and fully integrated, with smooth tannins and a balanced, elegant finish.

Why Buy This Wine
A rare opportunity to enjoy a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru at peak maturity, without the need for further cellaring. Smooth, complex, and immediately enjoyable.
The Estate
The 15.5-hectare vineyard of Château Belle Assise Coureau lies on a gentle sandy slope south of the Saint-Émilion limestone plateau. The 30-year-old vines are rooted in ancient sand-and-gravel soils, benefiting from ideal sun exposure and protection from the Dordogne River.
Once owned by the Brun family, the estate was purchased in 2013 by a group of friends led by Jean-Pierre Beltoise, the late Formula 1 driver and Monaco Grand Prix winner, and Alain Garitey, a Parisian lawyer. Today, Lionel Gallais manages the property, with Paul Junet as winemaker, bringing energy and precision to every vintage.
