“Fruity and floral, the bouquet of La Croix du Casse reveals inviting notes of violets and blueberries, followed by a hint of mint. Slightly creamy on the palate, the wine develops in a linear fashion. Its velvety, slightly smooth tannins add depth and harmonize with a refreshing acidity. An elegant and charming wine that deserves the maturation that aging will bring to help it integrate its current austere character.” (Yves Beck 2026)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more conventional 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 meticulous care as its “big brother,” Château Domaine de l’Église. The wines age with elegance and classic style. The most recent vintages are of high quality. We recommend it for its reliability and excellent value for money.
Guide Hachette des vins
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 vintage, with its deep color accented by violet hues, offers an intense nose of candied fruit, spices, and toasted 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.

About the estate:
The estate produces a smooth, 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.
