Château La Croix du Casse – Pomerol – Red – 2016 – 1500 ml:

 

Château LA CROIX DU CASSE epitomises the refined, Merlot-dominant style of Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Sourced from the appellation’s unique gravel and iron-rich ‘crasse de fer’ soils, this wine offers a sophisticated balance of power, silky texture, and notable aging potential.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Profile)

• **Colour:** A deep garnet hue with a bright ruby edge.
• **Nose:** The nose is highly expressive and pure, presenting ripe dark fruit (blackcurrant, mulberry, plum) complemented by subtle floral hints, sweet spice, and elegant oak notes of vanilla and tobacco.
• **Palate:** Smooth on entry, the wine builds to a medium-to-full body with polished, fine tannins. It is both rich and fresh, offering excellent continuity and a long, satisfying finish that speaks of its prestigious terroir.

Food Matching & Serving

Serve at 17-18°C (63-65°F). This is an outstanding wine for a traditional Sunday Roast or a formal dinner. Decant for an hour to appreciate its full aromatic spectrum.
