Croix de Labrie
Chateau Croix de Labrie is one of the smallest Grand Cru estates in St. Emilion. One of the last remaining Garage wines from the 1990s (meaning the production is small enough to be aged in the owner’s garage). Michel Rolland and Jean Luc Thunevin are the consultants. The wine is lush, seductive, open and drinks well young.

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90)Medium red. Bright aromas of cherry, blackberry, minerals and chocolatey oak. Fat and fruity, with mineral and tobacco notes complicating the wine's currant and cherry flavors. This offers early accessibility. |

Jeb Dunnuck (96)The 2019 Château Croix De Labrie is gorgeous and jumps out in the vintage. Almost all Merlot brought up in new barrels, it offers a beautiful bouquet of red and black currants, spicy oak, dried herbs, and flowers, with a beautiful loamy earth and chalky minerality emerging with time in the glass. With remarkable purity and finesse, it's full-bodied, has a great mid-palate, silky tannins, and a great finish. It could be drunk today with a decant but will ideally be given 4-5 years of bottle age. I suspect it will have 20-25 years of overall longevity. |

James Suckling (98-99)The focus and texture of this wine is really something. It’s totally transparent with blackberries, blueberries, earth, stone and mushrooms. Flowers too. Full-bodied with firm tannins that give super form and length to this. Freshness. Almost all merlot with a tiny dash of cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon. Perhaps the best ever? Certainly at the same level as the 2019. About 14,000 bottles made. |

James Suckling (95-96)So much cool blue fruit and flowers here with minerals and subtle clove notes. Black licorice and black pepper, too. Medium body with very fine yet firm tannins. Focused and linear. Vibrant. The energy keeps going. 87% merlot, 8% cabernet sauvignon and 5% cabernet franc. From biodynamically grown grapes. |

James Suckling (97-98)This is very unique and spicy, with white pepper, salt, iodine and oyster shell. Blackberry and black licorice, too. Medium to full body with great freshness, but it’s very structured with fine and chewy tannins, before finishing fresh and energetic. Crunchy. 3.41 pH and 14.2% alcohol. 85% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 5% cabernet franc. All biodynamically grown grapes. Better than 2022? |
