2015 Chateau Croix Mouton Pre-Arrival Offer

Other Reviews...
The 2015 Croix Mouton, a blend of 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet France, has a tight-fisted bouquet at first, sultry and a little unresponsive. It gently opens with blackberry and briar aromas, perhaps more "linear" than I was anticipating. The palate is medium-bodied with bold tannin, full in the mouth with rather "brash" tannin. I would have preferred more elegance to be conveyed on the finish, but there is plenty of muscle here. Give it a year or two in bottle and it should end up at the top of my banded score.

The 2015 20 Mille emerges from a densely planted parcel in Jean-Philippe Janoueix's Croix-Mouton estate and is vinified with carbonic maceration, an approach that gives terrific presence and vibrancy to the fruit. Various samples I tasted suggest the 20 Mille is a bit fragile at this stage. It will be interesting to see where the wine ends up once it is bottled. There is plenty of intrigue, that is for sure. The blend is 75% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Tasted two times.
