Run by Jean-Philippe Janoueix and covering a scant 4.5 hectares of prime terroir located between Le Pin, Vieux Château Certain, and Petit Village, La Croix Saint Georges produces roughly 1,400 cases of this terrific Pomerol. The 2015 La Croix Saint Georges is blockbuster stuff that reminds me of the 2012, which is a killer wine. Made from 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc aged in 50% new oak, it offers an extroverted personality in its huge nose of blackcurrants, plums, saddle leather, and leafy herbs. Dense, medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and with moderate tannin, it should drink beautifully for 15+ years.

Showing a dark, ruby hue the wine springs with a strong truffle essence. From there you find round, fleshy textured, sweet, silky plums with good purity to the fruit. Give this time in the bottle for the oak to fade and this should be an even better wine.

The 2015 La Croix St Georges is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with a nose of black berries and mulberries with plum pudding, damp soil, truffles and cigar box nuances. Full-bodied, rich and decadent in the mouth with velvety tannins, it finishes with great length. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
