Chateau Croix Mouton 2018

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, Chteau Croix Mouton was very quickly recognized by Bordeaux wine experts as being excellent value for money. The ‘M’ on Chteau Croix Mouton’s label is special. It changes shape and colour each year to reflect the personality of each vintage.

The 2018 Croix-Mouton is a dark, pliant Bordeaux Superieur. Black cherry, licorice, spice and creme de cassis give this sumptuous, racy wine striking texture and depth. The purity of the fruit and the wine’s freshness are notable.

89 Points – Wine Spectator

Lightly steeped damson plum and black cherry notes are expressive, while fine-grained structure pulls in light humus and cedar details through the finish. Drink now through 2022.
