Tasting Notes

This wine is classic St Estephe with rich, curranty fruit overlaying a deeply satisfying tannin profile.

Vinification Details.

Hand harvested, the grapes are sorted at the winery where only the best ones make the grade. Traditional vinification takes place at Chateau Phelan-Segur with a 3-week long fermentation process on skins followed by 12-month old maturation in oak barrels.


Regional info.

This resurgent St Estephe property is situated between Chateaux Montrose and Calon-Segur overlooking the Gironde. La Croix Bonis is sourced from a distinct 9ha parcel within the estate (much like Tourelles de Longueville). The Gardinier family's desire is to make a great wine, best known as one of the appellation area's best.
