Product detailed description
Croix Mouton 2014 - The Merlot harvest took place from October 1 to 12, which is almost two weeks later than usual. The Cabernet Franc harvest ended three days later. The result of this extended harvest is perfectly ripe grapes of both varieties. Owner Jean-Philippe Janoueix and his consultant Jean-Philippe Fort from the Michel Roland laboratory have produced a great wine, certainly one of the best in the Bordeaux Supérieur classification.
The taste is not lacking in good fruitiness, on the palate you can smell the flavors of currants, cherries and plums, all with a hint of licorice. Although the tannins seem very soft, their strength is pleasantly sufficient. Two years in the cellar and the taste will be great as usual.
This wine is in a 1.5 l bottle, which is called Magnum. The Magnum size is ideal for a gentleman for an evening out.

Château Croix Mouton
Château Croix Mouton is part of the portfolio of the renowned winemaker Jean-Philippe Janoueix, who also owns other wineries in the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, Pomerol, Saint-Georges, and Saint-Émilion areas. The vineyard covers 70 hectares and is planted with Merlot (97%), Cabernet Franc (2.5%), and Petit Verdot (2.5%). The average age of the vines is forty years. The vineyard promotes biodiversity by allowing grass to grow between the rows of vines, which supports insect life and improves water absorption into the soil. Harvesting is done by hand, with a strong emphasis on quality.
Experts consider Château Croix Mouton wine to be one of the best buys in Bordeaux, given its price.
