This estate used to
belong to the Geens family (well-known under the name of Ch. Cap d’Or), a name
that still sounds familiar to many people. Jean-Philippe Janoueix is owner
since 2014. He attempts to make a gem of this estate located between the
district of St. Emilion. The terroir has 19ha and consists of clay-lime, a
southern exposition (12ha) and a south-eastern exposition (7ha) is perfect. But
this is not all! The vines have an average of 33 years and the very low yields
(18hl/ha) produce a very intense and complex wine full of matter and subtlety.
Jean-Philippe, a perfectionist as we know him of Ch. Croix Mouton, Ch. La
Confession and Ch. Croix St. George, used the techniques of the Grand Crus to vinify:
manual harvest, encuvage with gravity, leaf removal, green harvest, making a
second wine to improve the first one, etc… This cannot lack in your wine
cellar!
