Chateau Croix Mouton 2020
Owner Jean-Philippe Janoueix provides a Bordeaux of remarkable purity and richness for an affordable price. Record mentions of the Château date back to the Roman Empire. Purchased by Jean-Phillipe in 1997, the 19 ha estate in Fronsac sits on clay, alluvial and limestone soils, with Merlot and Cabernet Franc planted in 45+ year-old vines for a concentrated and complex flavor.

A strong value proposition, the 2020 Croix Mouton offers up aromas of cassis, cherries, cigar wrapper and violet. Medium-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a sweet core of fruit and powdery tannin, it outperforms its humble appellation.
