“The wine has a ruby color. The nose features red fruit (red currant, blackcurrant buds) and subtle woody notes. The attack is silky, with a balanced and full mid-palate. The finish is smooth, of moderate length, and free of bitterness.” (La Croix du Casse Estate, 2019)

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

This estate, owned by Philippe Casteja, is one of Pomerol’s great classics. It receives the same technical care as its “big brother,” Château du Domaine de l’Église. The wines age with elegance and classic style. The most recent vintages are of good quality. We recommend it for its reliability and excellent value.

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

About the estate:

Grown on sandy-gravelly soil and composed of 93% Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc, this superb 2016—with its deep color accented by violet hues—offers an intense nose of candied fruit, spices, and toasty notes. The palate, full-bodied and persistent, also centered on spicy fruit, reveals a velvety texture structured by rich tannins that promise a promising aging potential.

Rated estate (2009 guide) Mentioned

About the estate:

The estate produces a supple and very flavorful Pomerol with a strong truffle aroma reminiscent of Clinet, at a much more affordable price. Its vineyard, situated on sandy-gravel soils, is excellent.
