This is very unique and spicy, with white pepper, salt, iodine and oyster shell. Blackberry and black licorice, too. Medium to full body with great freshness, but it’s very structured with fine and chewy tannins, before finishing fresh and energetic. Crunchy. 3.41 pH and 14.2% alcohol. 85% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 5% cabernet franc. All biodynamically grown grapes. Better than 2022?

The overall structure shows estate signature, concentrated but skilful and it works, showing a ton of fragrant dark spices, cumin, rosemary, sage, blueberry and raspberry fruits, vertical left through the palate that only happens in the really successful wine. 80% in barrels, 70% new oak for ageing. Good silver.

Donker robijn-granaatrood, ondoorzichtige kern, violette reflecties, delicate verheldering langs de rand. Fijne nuances van kostbaar hout, vanille, wat nougat, rijpe hartkersen en gekonfijte sinaasappelschil. Sappig, elegant, frisse zuurstructuur, delicaat vleugje zoethout, rijpe tannines, fijne zuurgraad, mineraalzoute afdronk, een elegante maaltijdbegeleider.

Refined red-berry aromas. Smooth and silky on attack, delightful fruit, polished tannins and clean, persistent finish. Balanced and harmonious, the portents good.

The 2023 Croix de Labrie is a dense, potent wine. A rush of blackberry jam, spice, lavender, chocolate and plums race across the palate. Hints of new leather and dried flowers appear later. This full-throttle, dense Saint-Émilion is dialed up to the maximum. The opulent style works well here.

The 2023 Croix de Labrie has a refined and delineated bouquet of expressive black fruit laced with iris flower and violet. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth, almost sensual opening. There is a slight savory touch here, but it’s elegant and refined on the finish. The 2023 is probably earlier-drinking than other vintages, but it’s nonetheless well-crafted and may well gain matière during barrel-maturation.
