Château La Croix Du Casse Pomerol AOC

Château La Croix Du Casse was for many years owned and administered by Jean-Michel Arcaute, who also owned Chateau Jonqueyres and world famous Château Clinet.
He was one of Bordeaux`s true innovators and propelled Croix du Casse into the front line of Pomerol properties.
Located on the southern tip of the Pomerol plateau, with beautiful vineyards on soils rich in sand, gravel and iron.

Often appreciated for its wines that combine seduction, smoothness and charm, La Croix du Casse 2016 it amazes in this vintage, thanks to its rich but perfectly integrated tannins, and this thanks to a more adequate vinification and refinement.
