A fresh and expressive Bordeaux with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and blackberry layered with subtle florals, spice, and a hint of graphite. The palate is medium-bodied and supple, showing juicy red and dark fruit framed by bright acidity and fine, lightly grippy tannins that add structure without heaviness. Clean and approachable yet nicely focused, finishing with a savoury, mineral edge and an easy, food-friendly charm.

Croix Mouton produces wines intended for pleasure, and excellent while still young. Entirely Merlot-driven, they are full-bodied and rich in flavour, easy to drink but with finesse, and have a stunning display of fresh red fruit on the palate. After the release of its first vintage, Château Croix Mouton was very quickly recognized by Bordeaux wine experts as being excellent value for money.
