La Croix de Bordeaux 2018
Bordeaux AOC
From the Entre Deux Mers, a great source of good value claret, this wine is fruity, as well as classic. It’s a blend of the best vats, picked out by our Bordeaux born winemaker buyer, Jean-Marc Sauboua. A great example of attractive, supple Bordeaux.
Beyond the Label
Tasting notes
Full flavoured and ripe, yet wonderfully soft and smooth
Aroma
Ripe, fruity notes of red and black berries; a hint of liquorice
La Croix de Bordeaux is our ‘house claret’ that will appeal to Bordeaux fans for its charming fruit and supple tannins. A wine which has become a staple in households up and down the country. Our chief winemaker and Bordeaux Buyer, Haut-Brion trained Jean-Marc Sauboua, tasted his way through 50 newly made wines at a cellar in Sauveterre before settling on his favourite three vats. These he carefully combined into one claret, which he’s called La Croix de Bordeaux. It’s pure Merlot, thermo vinified to release maximum colour and easy ripe fruit with minimal tannins. It’s from a terrific vintage, too. Food friendly, this is just the ticket for a whole range of dishes – cottage pie, a rich casserole, firm cheeses or lamb chops. Decant first.
