Saturated ruby-plum, with shades of crimson effortlessly wrapping the glass walls. Black currant, black cherry, white truffle, forest floor, and crushed rock minerality all boost the expressive nose to great heights. A medium-bodied yet powerful wine with a thrilling texture thanks to silky tannins that coat the palate with pure pleasure. Long and stacked on the sultry finish, with uncommon power at this level, with fabulous fruit and grip too. This stunner has the pedigree to accompany a candlelit filet mignon dinner with truffles and all.

Critic reviews
James Suckling – Château Croix de Labrie is certainly a “garage winery.” It makes three different wines in the small winery on the outskirts of the town of Saint Christophe des Bardes. Everything is done by hand here from tending the vines to topping the barrels. This is Burgundy in St.-Emilion, as the three wines all represent specific parcels of the winery’s vineyards, including Croix de Labrie, Chapelle de Labrie and Les Hauts de Croix de Labrie. The wines are distinctively different: the Croix de Labrie shows the most structure of the three, Chapelle de Labrie has the most minerally character, and Les Hauts de Croix de Labrie has the softest, most velvety texture. There’s a subtle and friendly nature that I always like in this wine. Hints of hazelnuts, chocolate and berries. Medium to full body, fine and polished tannins and a beautiful finish. A blend of 80 per cent merlot and 20 per cent cabernet franc. Hard not to drink now, but wait until after 2022.
