2016 Chateau La Croix Saint-Georges

Frankrig / Bordeaux / Pomerol Rouge
 
Vinmarken af Château La Croix St-Georges er bemærkelsesværdigt beliggende på gruset fra den høje terrasse, mellem Vieux Château Certan, Château Petit-Village og Le Pin.

Vinifikationen og modningen udføres af Jean-Philippe Janoueix, og vinen fra La Croix Saint-Georges udmærker sig ved en exceptionel blødhed og stor finesse.

Blend:
95 % Merlot for rundhed, fylde og frugtaromaer
5 % Cabernet Franc for elegance og struktur.
 
The Wine Cellar Insider/Jeff Leve tasting notes vintage 2016 (September 2019): "Truffle, flowers, smoke, vanilla, and licorice are on equal terms with the ripe plum and cherries found here. Soft and round on the palate, with silky tannnins, the wine will be much better with 6-8 years of aging". 
Joseph Janoueix is a family home of world renown, built over five generations in a spirit of tradition and quality. At the head of 18 estates they cultivate more than 200 hectares of vines with the passion of a job well done.
