Château de Barbe Blanche | France<br />
Château de Cruzeau | France<br />
Château de Barbe Blanche is situated in Lussac Saint-<br />
Émilion, Bordeaux. This estate benefits from the same<br />
exceptional clay-limestone terroir as the great château's<br />
that surround it. Made like a Cru Classé with a high<br />
proportion of Cabernet Franc, it shows incredible silkiness<br />
and richness after only 3 or 4 years. Made using fruit from<br />
30-year-old vines atop one of the highest plateaus in St<br />
Emilion, the Merlot brings red fruit aromas and silkiness<br />
whereas the Cabernet Franc gives freshness and tannins.<br />
Barrel ageing softens the wine and its tannins to a velvety<br />
touch in the mouth, while bringing tantalising hints of oak<br />
to an already complex wine.<br />
Château de Cruzeau is a discreet estate in Pessac-<br />
Léognan, Bordeaux which seduces with its remarkable<br />
gravel terroir and its consistency is exceptional. Covering<br />
almost 100 hectares, the estate is set on gravelly hilltops,<br />
rich in rolled pebbles. The plots are generally southfacing:<br />
an ideal situation for producing great wines,<br />
typical of the Pessac-Léognan appellation.<br />
The Cruzeau Blanc is the finest expression of its terroir<br />
with a rich, complex nose, with lovely notes of white<br />
fruit and citrus, freshness and roundness on the palate.<br />
Lemon-meringue and biscuit aromas lead to a very<br />
smooth and flavourful palate that has plenty of drinkable<br />
appeal.<br />
