Description

Blend: 58% Merlot; 40% Cabernet Sauvignon; 2% Petit Verdot.

The vines for La Croix come from a cluster of vineyards in the centre of St Julien and can include parcels from the grand vin in certain years. The nose is open and expressive, and the palate brims with crushed red fruits and spice. The tannins are soft and rounded with 60% new oak used this year. This is a classy and well balanced La Croix to be taken seriously.
