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.

About this wine

Saint-Julien

St Julien is the smallest of the ‘Big Four’ Médoc communes although, without any First Growths, it is recognised to be the most consistent of the main communes with many châteaux turning out impressive wines year after year. The wines can be judged as much by texture as flavour, and there is a sleek, wholesome character to the best. At their very finest they combine Margaux’s elegance and refinement with Pauillac’s power and substance.
