Chateau Croix Mouton, Cuvée Joseph 2020 | French Wines | Bordeaux Wine…

Merlot driven, excellent value for money for the Bordeaux enthusiast.

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

Blend: 97% MERLOT / 2,5% CABERNET FRANC / 0,5% PETIT VERDOT

Château Croix Mouton is positioned in the commune of Lugon, on the clay soils of ‘Ile de Carney’. The setting is bucolic with true rural charm, and during the harvest period we take in the early-morning sunrise over the misty Dordogne river from the winery. As the day passes, sail boats and cruisers occasionally glide past, punctuating the still calm.

Two of our chateaux are situated in the dynamic Bordeaux Supérieur appellation, on the edge of Fronsac. Possessing a majority of Merlot, the wines are full of character. They are fine and generous, showing off their magnificent silt and clay terroir, which provides wines that are excellent in their young years and please a wide audience. These are convivial wines, made to be shared.

“To celebrate my parents’ 25th anniversary and as a tribute to them, I created this exceptional cuvée. Of course, the « M » stands for Mouton, the toponym of our vineyard, but mostly for Marriage, Mom, and her first name, Marie. This wine is the fruit of years of labour – it will bring you joy, strength and love.” – Joseph Janoueix.
