Chateau Croix de Labrie, St. Emilion Grand Cru Classé 2003 Size::1 Bottle We like the Great Southern

We like the Great Southern for its lean tight chardonnay

The wines were fermented in one and two tonne open fermenters using different treatments including some inclusion of whole bunches on a couple of parcels

distinctive minerality and delicate honeysuckle aromas

The oak is background cedar which will recede further as the fruits emerge with some bottle age

The palate is incredibly pure
