Croix Saint Georges (Saint Georges St Emilion) other_regions_australia the 2016 is even more

the 2016 is even more reticent than it was last year at this time

I have no doubt that in time further treasures will emerge from beneath the surface of primary and secondary aromas

Here too there are soft floral hints to the overtly spicy aromas of red and dark currants

This is a wonderfully impressive wine that has the touch of youthful austerity that Champans always seems to display

This youthfully imploded Chardonnay will need a few more years in bottle to approach its peak and should also age very well

Croix Saint Georges (Saint Georges St Emilion) other_regions_australia the 2016 is even moreA dense plum ruby purple color is accompanied by sweet aromas of chocolatey black cherry and black currant fruit intertwined with a notion of wood smoke. Fashioned from a blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc, it is a round, opulent, pure, elegant effort created by Michel Rollands top assistant, Jean Philippe Fort, and proprietor Jean Philippe Janoueix. Drink it over the next decade or more.
