Château La Croix Saint Georges, Pomerol

Château La Croix Saint Georges, Pomerol

Decanter, 96 point
"Purchased by the Janoueix family in 1932 and managed by Jean-Philippe Janoueix since 1999, this 4.2 hectare Pomerol vineyard is a few rows away from Le Pin and close to Vieux Château Certan. The vines are an average of 38 years old, with newer plantings at up to 12,000 vines per hectare, the highest density in Pomerol. Following fermentation in open top vats, the wines are aged in new French cigar shaped oak barrels for 16-20 months; this unique shape allows for more lees and wood contact resulting in a richly oaked style of wine. JA: More precision and flesh evident on the first nose here, good quality black chocolate and coffee, bitter but with punch, silky texture and clear poise and hold. Needs more time, but has potential. AH: Bright, juicy dark red fruits. Fresh berries, lovely crunchy acidity and ripe tannins allied with integrated oak and a fine balance on the palate. Under-stated, refined and long. Cool finish, refined, lovely. TT: Deep vibrant ruby colour. Intense aromas of mocha, iodine and mineral. Very complex. Generous black fruit on the plate with fine velvety tannins. At peak, won't age."
