CHÂTEAU LA CROIX SAINT GEORGES

2013 Pomerol Lea & Sandeman

Colour Red
Origin France, Bordeaux
Sub-district Pomerol & Lalande de Pomerol
Village Pomerol

Sweet and creamy, almost port-like fruit with hints of tawny (suggesting oxidaton), so perhaps the sample is tired. A bit weird. On this showing (sadly the only time I saw it), this is not one of Jean-Philippe's great successes, although the volume is good for the vintage. Rating: 86-87 L&S (Apr 2014)

A final blend of 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc for the 2013 La Croix St.-Georges came from 65% of the production. This property has done well for more than 15 years under the inspired leadership of Jean-Philippe Janoueix. The 12-acre vineyard is sandwiched between true superstars in Pomerol, particularly Le Pin and Vieux Chateau Certan. The 2013 has a dark plum color, notes of white chocolate, dusty, loamy soil undertones, and is medium-bodied with a fresh, lively, uninspiring but pleasant texture and finish. Drink it over the next 6-8 years. 2014-2022 Rating: 85-88 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.RobertParker.com (Aug 2014)

The La Croix St. George, a blend of 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc, has a light and slightly herbaceous bouquet with a hint of orange rind coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with a lot of vanillary new oak that tends to render the finish a little dry and resting on the wood tannins. This will need prudent élevage.

Chewy and extracted. Full body, spicy and flavorful. A little overdone. Wait and see. Rating: 87-88 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2014)
