Tasting note
A young and intense wine; the nose, both elegant and powerful, combines candied fruit and toasted notes. Equal in intensity, the palate charms with its highly supple and smooth mouth-feel and by its beautiful roundness. It is well-structured with dense, oaky and vanillary tannins and by a long finish. A lasting pleasure!
Vineyard
The 8.50 ha of Château La Croix Romane are located on the right bank of the River Dordogne, 30 km from Bordeaux, only 2 km from the famous plateau of Pomerol. The vineyards are situated on a fabulous gravelly mound containing 10% of clay soils.
Viticulture
Single Guyot pruning, removing alternate buds, grass / tillage, alternative rows, leaf removal on the shaded side of the vines (East or North) at the beginning of August to obtain healthy grapes and a phenolic maturity of their skins, bunch thinning during the summer to limit the crop yield to 45 hL/ha, manual and mechanical harvest, depending on the area
Vinification
Alcoholic fermentation and maceration (in temperature-controlled stainless vats), ageing in french oak barrel from 12 to 18 months (30% of new oak barrels)
