The Chemins de la Croix Ducasse 2018, elegance
Les Chemins de La Croix Ducasse 2018 is the second wine of the Castle of La Croix du Casseproperty of the Borie-Manoux family group (Trottevieille, Batailley, Lynch-Moussas…), south of Pomerol.
Just as silky as its elder, it is a blend representative of the vineyards on sandy-gravelly soil of the estate, with a dominant Merlot which gives it all its roundness and its beautiful structure, and a touch of Cabernet Franc which reveals great aromatic finesse.
Les Chemins de La Croix Ducasse 2018 reveals a dark ruby color with garnet reflections, heralding its bouquet. On the nose, it offers a whole palette of red and black fruits (black cherry), and also liquorice, fragrances so particular to Pomerol. The attack on the palate is frank, solid, round, revealing ripe and melted tannins. Continuing the tasting, there is no hollow wave, we remain on a fleshy and tender mouth, well perfumed, balanced. The fruit remains even on the finish which is persistent, with a good length, very fresh. It is an ample, generous wine, full of finesse.
This Pomerol provides great pleasure with almost any dish and goes particularly well with a wild boar terrine, stuffed porcini mushrooms, woodcock salmis, beef Wellington, duck aiguillettes with honey, rib of beef with chanterelle mushrooms, black pudding with apples, roast venison fillet.
Les Chemins de La Croix Ducasse 2018 is available at wine shops and online at 1day1wineat the price of €22.50.
