Inky dark, bright and pure. Denser fruit and serious feel.Rich, velvety opulence. Thick but fresh, very intense. Big, mouthfilling wine, and although difficult to get into at this stage, it shows its class on the length. Rating: 92-93 L&S (Apr 2011)

Another small estate owned by the talented Jean-Philippe Janoueix, this 12-acre vineyard, planted in gravelly soils, was cropped at 28 hectoliters per hectare, and the final blend was 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc that reached 14.5% natural alcohol. Full-bodied with notes of smoky barbecue interwoven with creme de cassis, black cherries, licorice and espresso roast, it reveals excellent fruit and a juicy attack and mid-palate before the tannins kick in. Big and masculine, it will need 5-6 years of cellaring, and should keep for 15-20+. 2016-2036 Rating: 90-93 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (May 2011)

The La Croix St. Georges has a very tightly wound bouquet with blackberry, dark cherries and cassis, upfront and bold as if often the style here. The palate is full-bodied with rich, dense tannins, gentle grip and very smooth towards the compact, weighty finish. I feared that this might be a little extravagant. Au contraire, it is very composed and manages the alcohol well. Rating: 91-93 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2011)

Balanced with beautiful fruit with blueberry and currants. Full, yet refined. Delicate texture. Rating: 91-92 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2011)
