Chateau La Croix St-Vincent Pomerol AOC
Elegant Bordeaux Character from the Heart of Pomerol
Chateau La Croix St-Vincent Pomerol is a refined and expressive Bordeaux wine that captures the prestige and complexity of the renowned Pomerol appellation. Crafted with precision and respect for tradition, this exceptional red wine delivers depth, elegance, and remarkable balance in every glass. Produced in the celebrated vineyards of AOC Pomerol, the estate benefits from fine gravel, sandy soils, and the unique “Alios” sub-soil that contributes to the wine’s structure and minerality.
This distinguished blend consists of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, creating a harmonious combination of ripe fruit intensity and refined tannic structure. The Merlot brings velvety texture and rich dark fruit flavors, while the Cabernet Franc adds freshness, spice, and aromatic complexity. As a result, Chateau La Croix St-Vincent Pomerol offers a sophisticated tasting experience that appeals to both collectors and wine enthusiasts alike.
Traditional Vineyard Practices and Organic Conversion
The vineyard spans 8.22 hectares and features vines with an impressive average age of 38 years. Older vines naturally produce lower yields with concentrated flavors, enhancing the wine’s depth and character. The estate maintains a plantation density of 5,800 stocks per hectare to encourage balanced vine growth and optimal grape quality.
Every stage of vineyard management receives meticulous attention. The team carefully monitors the vineyard throughout the growing season while practicing sustainable soil management techniques. Manual green harvesting and hand de-leafing during June and July improve grape exposure and ripeness. Additionally, a second green harvest may take place in August when necessary to ensure exceptional fruit concentration.
Since 2012, the estate has been in organic conversion, reflecting its commitment to environmentally responsible viticulture and long-term vineyard health.
Carefully Crafted Winemaking Process
The grapes undergo manual harvesting with strict double sorting procedures to preserve only the finest fruit quality. After destemming, the wine benefits from a pre-fermentation cold maceration in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats, which enhances aromatic extraction and color intensity.
Depending on the vintage and vineyard parcel, vatting lasts between four and six weeks to achieve optimal extraction and complexity. The wine then matures for 11 to 15 months in French oak barrels on fine lees without racking. This aging method adds texture, elegance, and subtle oak integration while preserving the purity of the fruit. The estate uses no fining and applies only light filtration before bottling, allowing the wine to retain its authentic character.
A Perfect Choice for Fine Wine Enthusiasts
