Château La Croix Du Casse Pomerol AOC

Château La Croix Du Casse was for many years owned and administered by Jean-Michel Arcaute, who also owned Chateau Jonqueyres and world famous Château Clinet.
He was one of Bordeaux`s true innovators and propelled Croix du Casse into the front line of Pomerol properties.
Located on the southern tip of the Pomerol plateau, with beautiful vineyards on soils rich in sand, gravel and iron.

Fruit of a superb vintage, Château La Croix du Casse 2019 is certainly a Pomerol not to be missed which will be appreciated both in its youth or after several years of ageing. 2019 vintage in Bordeaux is one of those vintages that are as surprising as they are superb.
