Château Croix Cardinale St Emilion Grand Cru 2024
Subdued on the nose, a wash of smoked oak that is subtle and integrated even at this early stage, gentle black fruits on the palate, soft landings, unfussy. 35% new oak, 5% amphora, as of this vintage in several differently sized barrels. 37 hl/ha. Harvest 4 to 9 October, Decoster family owners. Ludovine Chagnon technical director. Second year in its own winery, reflecting that this is from a different section of the vineyard (here south facing slopes, clay limestone dominant). Julien Viaud of Rolland Laboratory consultant.
