Chateau la Croix St Georges 2006

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (91)

Although not quite the blockbuster I expected from the barrel samples I tasted, this is, nevertheless, an outstanding effort from a vineyard situated next to the garagiste superstar, Le Pin. A dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by sumptuous aromas of truffles, chocolate, kirsch, fig, coffee, and toasty oak. Deep and full-bodied with a broad, savory mouthfeel, and a layered finish, this beauty will provide pleasure over the next 15-20 years. Kudos to Jean-Philippe Janoueix!

Sweet berry and milk chocolate aromas lead to a full body, with a solid core of ripe berries and a velvety texture. There's a pretty structure to this.
