La Croix Saint Christophe

La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2021

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black currants, plums, licorice, light oak, chocolates, herbs, coffee, earth, spices, tobacco leaf and black tea.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Bordeaux is still young, but already enjoyable, even by itself.

Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and interesting. Fruit forward and elegant.

Easy drinking at this point, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

A blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. Aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Your camera must be playing a trick because it doesn't look ruby in the glass 😅✌️

Château Tour Saint-Christophe

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2021

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2021 pours a deep purple color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe dark fruits: blackberries, dark cherry, plums, purple flowers, cocoa, organic earth and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. A crowd pleaser to drink now but with enough substance to enjoy through 2036. — a month ago

Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and robust.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

Château La Croix St. Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

2018 vintage. Light-medium body with plenty of punch. Lean but not completely mean with certain, here and there, charms. Predestined as a "food wine" unless you prefer discipline as a whole. The nice price. 01.22.25. — 6 months ago
