Pomerol AOC 2017 Château La Croix St. Georges

Pomerol is produced by Château La Croix S. Georges, which is part of the Jean Philippe Janqueix domaines of Bordeaux.

The wine is a blend composed mostly of Merlot grapes with a small addition of Cabernet Franc. They are vinified at a controlled temperature in 90 hl open wooden barrels. Half of the malolactic fermentation takes place in wooden barrels. The wine is aged in wooden barrels for 5-6 months.

Intense ruby red in color, it reveals intense aromas of cooked black fruits, ripe plums with salty notes on the nose. The sip is fresh, medium-bodied and with good persistence.

The wine goes very well with red meats and stewed game as well as aged cheeses.
