Les Chemins de la Croix du Casse, the second wine of Château La Croix du Casse, was created to strengthen the estate’s commitment to quality. Aged in barrels for an average of 18 months, just like the Grand Vin, it receives the same attentive care to express all the characteristics of a great Pomerol. The first vintage released was 2005.

 

Winemaking

Sandy gravel and crasse de fer (iron-rich subsoil).

Fermentation and maceration last 3 to 4 weeks. The wine is aged in barrels for 16 to 18 months, with a proportion of new oak.

Tasting notes

Ruby-coloured robe. The nose shows red fruits (redcurrant, blackcurrant bud) with light oak notes. The attack is silky, the mid‑palate full and well‑balanced. The finish is soft, medium in length, with no bitterness.

Food pairings

Perfect with grilled beef, duck strips with honey, or veal rack with chanterelles.
