2016Château Croix Mouton(Red)
Bordeaux Supérieur
Alcohol
13,0 %
Ch. Croix Mouton is a
wine that surpasses its appellation, which means that the quality is higher
than one would expect. The estate is in hands of Jean-Philippe Janoueix, same
owner as Ch. La Confession (St. Emilion) and Ch. La Croix St. Georges (Pomerol).
Small returns (46hl/ha), cultivation of the soil, leaf removal, sorting out
when harvesting, use of gravity when putting the grapes in the cuvees, elevation
on new oak, etc… all those things contribute to top quality for a very
reasonable price. Jean-Philippe Janoueix is a very precise person, which reflects
in the quality of his wines. Do also
read my comments on his newly bought chateau Cap Saint Georges (Saint Georges
in St. Emilion), and his other wines mentioned above.
