Château La Croix Bellevue Lalande-de-Pomerol 2022

Château La Croix Bellevue Lalande-de-Pomerol 2022, is a fruit-driven Bordeaux blend of 50% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc, with a solid structure and a juicy center-palate. Aromas of flowers, licorice, red berries, dark cherries, forest floor and some earth combine in the nose, followed by a fresh, juicy, vibrant palate with a nice kick of cherries, plums, ripe berries and sweet spices and a touch refreshing mint in the finish. Soft, subtle, velvety and seductive, this wine is medium-bodied, with fine tannins and refined texture.

The Château La Croix Bellevue estate was purchased by Jean-Louis Trocard in the Spring of 2000. The vineyard was entirely planted with a high density of 7000 vinestocks per ha. The soil type is gravel slopes with southern exposure facing Pomerol. The harvest is performed by hand to ensure optimum maturity of the Cabernet and perfect sorting of the grapes.  

The wine ages for 14 months in oak barrels (50% of French new oak). Château La Croix Bellevue has the most typical Médoc character, as it is blended with 50% Cabernet (Sauvignon & Franc).
