CHATEAU CROIX DE LABRIE - Saint Emilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux - France

Deep and intense, with amazing 100 years old Cabernet Sauvignon blended at 5% only (3 barrels) and 95% Merlot. Very sexy and lot of floral notes with hint of blackcurrant, cherries and spices. The palate is fresh and very elegant. The silky tannins make the palate round, plummy and very attractive. Some mineral notes with some black cherries flavours, very rich and dense, but with a very long finish.

Vintage in image may vary. Refer to wine facts for current vintage.

Vineyard Info

"The Sexiest wine from Bordeaux" Robert Parker "The Last True garage wine from Bordeaux" James Suckling

Château Croix de Labrie is located in Saint-Emilion Grand Cru which inevitably think of Burgundy and its mosaic of plots and producers. 3,5ha vineyards located down the slopes of Pavie and on the top of the plateau in Saint-Christophe des Bardes. The soils are made of clay and chalk, asteries limestones, and some iron sand.

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.
