The 2015 Croix de Labrie has a very precise bouquet, pure black cherry and cassis fruit with well-integrated new oak that lifts beautifully from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannin, quite modern in style but with a very attractive silky texture, and retaining sufficient freshness and brightness on the seductive black cherry and kirsch finish. Give it 4-5 years in bottle, if you can resist.
The Château Croix de Labrie 2014 is more tightly wound on the nose with blueberry jam and fresh prune coming through with aeration. The palate is sweet and rounded on the entry with thickly-layered ripe black and red fruit offset with a pleasant salinity on the finish. It will need more bottle age and perhaps a little more persistence, but one can already appreciate the focus here. Sure, it's an opulent, extravagant Saint Emilion wine from Axelle Courdurie, but one of the better of its type.
Château Croix de Labrie 2015. This is fabulous with incredible depth and power. Full and very velvety textured. Great ripe tannins. Very polished and textured. Sexy. Made from only one hectare. Pure merlot.
Chapelle de Labrie 2015. Another tiny cru of 1.5 hectares shows wonderful depth and mineral character. Full and velvety. So much density and beauty. Chili spice undertones. 80% merlot and the rest in cabernet sauvignon.
Les Hauts de Croix de Labrie 2015. This is a tiny parcel from vineyards planted in stony and sandy soil. Full and soft and gorgeous. Decadent and velvety texture. Menthol and ripe fruit.
Croix de Labrie Blanc 2015. Plenty of sliced apple and lemon rind character. Medium to full body, sliced pineapple and bright. Honey undertone. Only three barrels. 60% semillon and the rest sauvignon blanc. Cool wine. Organically grown grapes.
Château Croix de Labrie 2015. Deep in color with chocolate mint, licorice, spicy black cherries and a hint of truffle on the nose, this wine tastes like a blend of black cherry liqueur and dark chocolate. Silky in nature with the structure to evolve, this is a very nice vintage for Croix de Labrie. The wine is made from 100% Merlot and reached 14% alcohol.
Château Croix de Labrie 2015. Ma meilleure note donnée à ce cru en primeur. Depuis 2013, ce cru offre un des plus beaux touchers de bouche de Saint-Emilion. Goûté quatre fois avec des assemblages variant de 90 % à 100 % merlot, le cru a gardé le même niveau de note. Il brille par une couleur sombre et un nez pur au fruité mûr. Mais c’est surtout en bouche où il se distingue en associant suavité du goût, puissance de la structure, noblesse de la texture, de l’allant, des tannins fins. L’ensemble est finement crémeux et délicatement parfumé sans aucun angle. C’est long et beau. La note plaisir y est particulièrement forte.
