2024 La Croix du Casse
Buying options
Tasting Notes
Soft extraction, ruby fruits, fine tannins, serving up pretty red fruits, unfussy, fresh acidities on the finish and a kiss of gunsmoke, full of cheer if soft on the finish. No need to wait too long to begin drinking. Harvest 27 September to 4 October, 32hl/h after a severe sorting.

The 2024 La Croix du Casse is all charm. Floral and spice notes open first as this mid-weight, open-knit Pomerol shows off its up-front personality. Blood orange, cinnamon and a kiss of French oak add to its undeniable appeal. This soft Pomerol will be very easy to drink on release.
Cocoa, plums, licorice, and just a hint of espresso form the core here. Medium-bodied, vibrant, chewy, bright, and plummy, with a chocolate-inspired end note. You can enjoy this with ease upon release and for a decade or more afterward. The wine blends 95% Merlot, with 5% Cabernet Franc. 13.5% ABV. Harvesting took place September 20 - October 5.
A juicy and medium-fruity wine with light to medium body and fine tannins. Crisp and easy. A blend of 95% merlot and 5% cabernet franc.
