Château La Croix Saint Georges is like cashmere. Imagine a soft cocoon, a caress that enrobes the mouth with velvety tannins. There are aromas of sweet, ripe stewed plum and compote-like black fruits, heightened by a touch of fresh tapenade on the finish, a saline note coming from the wine’s lively freshness. Vinification is precise and delicate: the berries are not trampled or crushed before being transferred into oak vats. Everything happens using gravity, as Jean Philippe Janoueix works his Pomerols with grace and care, firmly committed to obtaining perfect balance.

this is drinking really well right now- take a look on the maop where this vineyard is located!
The 2019 La Dame de Montrose, which I tasted in June and September
2021, has a fresh mulberry, black plum and granite-scented bouquet that
is quite precocious; touches of morel appear in the background. The
palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tan...
The 2022 La Dame de Montrose is fabulous. It marries the power of the
vintage with notable tension and freshness to balance things out. Dark
cherry, mocha, crushed rocks, graphite and leather soar out of the
glass. A truly magnicent wine, La Dame is a ...
The 2023 La Dame de Montrose is a rich, heady wine. Succulent dark
cherry, plum, new leather, spice, menthol, licorice and mocha are
beautifully amplified. Explosive to the core, the 2023 possesses tons of
aromatic intensity and pure volume. This showy...
