Critique Review

Fascinating aromas of dark fruits and lime skin follow through to a full body. A focused and intense palate and a long, flavorful finish. Needs a year or two to soften, but already serious. Try in 2019.

Vineyard Info

Château Croix de Labrie is located in Saint-Emilion Grand Cru which inevitably think of Burgundy and its mosaic of plots and producers. Indeed, our vineyards cover around 5 acres in the heart of the appellation. Our Merlot grows on a great terroir of clay with limestone whereas the Cabernet Sauvignon lays on gravely soils.

We pay particular attention to the vine in order to express the maximum of the terroir. The vineyard is handled by Axelle Courdurié, as a small diamond, from pruning to the harvest, the vinification and ageing with the guidance of the team of Michel Rolland. Very mindful of detail, accuracy Axelle brings her feminine sensitivity to all our wines from Croix de Labrie.
