La Croix de Bordeaux 2016
The Entre Deux Mers is a great source of fruity claret. The key is to have a network of contacts so you can secure the best vats to blend. With Bordeaux born Jean-Marc Sauboua in charge, that’s a given. Pure Merlot, this is ripe with lush plum fruit.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Wine
La Croix de Bordeaux is our ‘house claret’, that will appeal to Bordeaux fans for its charming fruit and supple tannins. A wine which is sure to 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 wide range of dishes – cheeses, cottage pie, a rich casserole or lamb chops. Decant first.
