2020 | Château Croix De Labrie | Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Dark garnet, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. A touch of suede, balsamic, woody nuances, liquorice, black forest berries, a touch of tobacco. Deep, juicy, elegant, fine fruit expression, ripe tannins, some nougat on the finish.

Producer Information

Château Croix De Labrie is a Saint-Émilion wine producer, located in the commune of Saint-Christophe des Bardes. It was promoted to grand cru classé in the 2022 classification with the historic cellars dating back to 1687. The château was purchased by Axelle and Pierre Courdurie in 2013. Today, a mere 400 cases of the Grand Vin is produced making Chateau Croix De Labrie one of the last remaining 'garage wine' projects from the 1990s. The second wine is Chapelle de Labrie. A total of 5.7 hectares (14 acres) are cultivated for the estate, planted on clay-limestone and gravel-clay soil types. Predominantly Merlot is planted with smaller portions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with vines averaging approximately 50 years of age. Biodymanic and organic farming principles are employed and grapes are hand-picked at harvest. In the winery, plots of grapes are vinified seperately and are cold-soaked for four days prior to fermentation. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in both vats and barrels with wines barrel-aged 18 months prior to bottling.
