RATINGS

91Robert M. Parker Jr.

...The 2009 may be the finest example of this cuvee I have yet tasted. Up-front, precocious and generous...abundant notes of creme de cassis and black cherry fruit intertwined with hints of wood smoke, vanillin and earth...

91Wine Spectator

Shows nice range, with crushed plum, blackberry and steeped fig notes lined with singed mesquite and backed by black tea and licorice snap accents. Should be approachable soon. Best from 2014 through 2024. –JM

......this looks to be the best Croix ever. Owner Bruno Borie told me that beginning in 2005 this became a wine of terroir too...Croix is made only with the grapes of certain specific parcels.

REGION

France, Bordeaux, St.-Julien

Saint-Julien is the smallest of the four main Médoc appellations with 2,175 acres of vineyards. It is just south of Pauillac on the left bank of the Gironde, and although it has no First Growth châteaux, its 11 Classified Growth estates are widely admired. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that winemaking in Saint-Julien from all classifications “is consistently both distinctive and brilliant.” He adds it is Médoc’s “most underrated commune.” The best-known estates are Léoville Las Cases, Ducru-Beaucaillou, Léoville Poyferré, Léoville Barton and Gruaud Larose, and most of those have riverside estates. The soil in this appellation is gravelly with clay. Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape grown, and it is blended with Cabernet Franc, Merlot and sometimes small amounts of Petit Verdot.
