Hauntingly transcendent, the La Croix de St-Georges 2012 showcases the poetic beauty of fine wine craftsmanship. Born in the verdant vineyards of the St-Georges appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, this wine speaks volumes of its provenance. Crafted by Jean-Philippe Janoueix, a seasoned wine artisan from a deeply rooted Bordeaux family, this extraordinary blend bathes the palate in a melange of blackberry, plum and cigar box undertones. The La Croix de St-Georges 2012's unhurried maturation, first in a fermenting vat and then 14 months in oak barrels, bestows it with a profound depth of flavour. With tannins that are firm yet supple, this wine is a testament to the winemaker's skill in achieving equilibrium. A well-reputed jewel of the Janoueix portfolio, each sip of La Croix de St-Georges 2012 reaffirms its sterling pedigree in every sense. Truly, the epitome of elegantly enthralling Bordeaux wine. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (89-91)The 2013 La Croix Saint Georges has been gorgeous on the three times I have tasted it thus far. Impeccable and silky on the palate, the 2013 is a wine of nuance and balance. Dark red/black fruit, smoke, tobacco and savory herbs are some of the many nuances that emerge from a wine that offers quite a bit of complexity in the glass. Cinnamon, mint and cedar wrap around the juicy finish. Today, the oak is a bit pronounced, but that is a relatively small critique for a wine that delivers so much pleasure. |

Wine Advocate (90-92)The Château La Croix St. Georges 2014 has an uncomplicated, fresh bouquet with brambly red berry fruit with a touch of wilted rose petal, though it does not deliver the concentration of recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, well-judged acidity and a harmonious, elegant finish. Winemaker Jean-Philippe Janoueix usually goes from a more bullish style of Pomerol. This is more refined and in a way, classier. It will also be one of Pomerol's more approachable wines but one that still deserves respect. |

A remarkable embodiment of Bordeaux artistry, La Croix Du Casse 2007 hails from the esteemed vineyards of Pomerol. Handcrafted by Château Du Casse, a producer revered for its meticulous attention to detail, the wine is a stunning interplay of deep, rich flavours and exquisite smoothness. The wine's dark, ruby-red facade belies a vibrant blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, intensifying its distinctive character. La Croix Du Casse 2007 was aged in oak barrels for 12 months, influencing its unique complexity. The nose reveals enthralling notes of black fruits, vanilla, and truffle, while on the palate, it delivers robust tannins and a finish that is both elongated and powerful. This wine's virtuosity attests to the winemaker's dedication to marrying tradition with innovation. Any discerning oenophile will relish the opportunity to experience La Croix Du Casse 2007— a testament to the superiority of French winemaking. |

The La Croix Du Casse 2022 is a delightful harmony of elegance and intensity. This Bordeaux wine is meticulously crafted in the Pomerol appellation, traditionally vinified and aged in French oak barrels. The producer, an affiliate of the esteemed Borie-Manoux family, boasts a rich history in wine culture spanning multiple generations. Situated on the right bank of the Dordogne, the vineyard enjoys the region's favourable clay-peat soil, resulting in a robust Merlot blend with complexities of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The robust complexity of the La Croix Du Casse 2022 renders a tasting palate of dark fruit notes balanced with rich cocoa and licorice nuance. The wine exhibits a deep garnet hue, signifying its maturity and full-bodied character. With its robust tannic structure and moderate acidity, it pairs splendidly with rich meats and creamy cheeses. Experience the opulence of La Croix Du Casse 2022, a representation of Pomerol's fine winemaking tradition. |

Wine Enthusiast (93)Effectively a wine with its own dedicated portion of the Ducru Beaucaillou vineyard, this is structured and firm. It's concentrated with dark plum fruits and full of powerful tannins that go right through from start to finish. It certainly needs to age, so don't drink before 2022. |

Decanter (95)So much purity and definition, this is a beautiful wine with clarity of flavour. Touches of grilled almond and rosemary, mocha, smoke and coffee bean, there is so much freshness, with juice rushing in between the muscles and a mint leaf finish. 3.78pH, 60% new oak. Yields were 25-30hl/ha. In a year where second wines in the Médoc have sometimes suffered from over-concentration, La Croix de Beaucaillou is a standout success. |
