Lots of lush dark cherries, violets, and allspice followed by black ink, mint chocolate, and mocha. Full-bodied and very concentrated in the mid-palate with refreshing acidity and firm yet juicy tannins. A broad and energetic wine that is well-framed with focus. From organically grown grapes. It will age beautifully. Try after 2028.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

91-93 The 2021 Croix de Labrie was picked at 25hL/ha between September 30 and October 16, and matured in 80% new oak. It has quite a perfumed, floral bouquet of violet-tinged red fruit, with a touch of blueberry coming through. The harmonious palate is medium-bodied and silky-smooth, delivering pliant tannins and a persistent finish. This is a very pleasant surprise. A great showing.

Up there with the top wines of the vintage, the 2021 Château Croix De Labrie boasts an incredible, medium to full-bodied, concentrated style that brings more fruit, texture, and richness than just about every other wine. Cassis, spicy oak, tobacco leaf, and chocolaty notes all emerge from the glass, and it has terrific purity, a deep, layered mid-palate and mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. I love it even today, yet I see no reason it shouldn't evolve gracefully for 15+ years if well stored. The blend is 90% Merlot and 5% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, raised in 60% new barrels.

90-92 Including 5% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc this year, the 2021 Croix de Labrie offers up aromas of dark berries, plums, red fruit compote, licorice and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety, it's a lively, rather muscular wine with a fleshy core of fruit, tangy acids and powdery tannins. It attained almost 14% alcohol and will see maturation in 80% new oak.

Intense nose of ripe jammy fruit with touches of rose petal. Pleasing combination of softly sweet fruit and quite bitter elements - orange peel, dark chocolate and liquorice, which gives frame rather than unbalanced spice. Tannins are fine, but also chewy and plush - overall this has quite a presence in the mouth. Feels polished but also quite showy. Plenty to like. Michel Rolland consultancy.

The 2021 Croix de Labrie is organic. It has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and notes of warm plums and black cherries spill from the glass, leading to suggestions of lavender and clove oil, plus a touch of cardamom. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers plenty of juicy black fruits, with a soft texture and well-knit freshness, finishing fragrant.
