2019 Chateau Croix St. Georges - Pomerol (750ml)
A privileged address on the Pomerol plateau — the vineyards sit just one row of vines away from the legendary Le Pin, and in close proximity to Vieux Château Certan and Château Petit Village, on deep gravel soils at the heart of the plateau. Managed by Jean-Philippe Janoueix, who has steadily elevated quality since taking over in 1999. Seductive and violet-scented on the nose with blackcurrant fruit and florality — excellent core, juicy and vibrant. The 2019 vintage brings generous, sun-drenched Pomerol character — plush, ripe Merlot fruit with notes of dark cherry, mocha, and spice, framed by soft, velvety tannins and a lush, lingering finish. An accessible, crowd-pleasing Pomerol from one of the appellation's best-situated estates at a compelling price. Drink now–2032
