La Croix de Labrie 2009 presents a deep garnet color with a nose marked by earthy notes, black cherry, and subtle spices. The palate reveals a medium-bodied wine, structured with ripe tannins and a balanced acidity. Flavors of plum, leather, and a hint of tobacco emerge, demonstrating the wine`s maturity and complexity.
This Bordeaux blend is crafted primarily from Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is sourced from the Saint-Émilion region, known for its diverse terroir. An extended aging period in oak barrels contributes to its depth, allowing the wine to evolve gracefully over the years.

Robert Parker
Always one of Bordeaux’s most endearing and charming wines, Croix de Labrie’s wines generally offer an unctuous texture as well as enormous quantities of fruit. Made from 100% Merlot, the 2009 (about 300 cases produced) exhibits smoky black currant and raspberry liqueur notes intermixed with notions of licorice, graphite and wood smoke. Intense and unctuously textured with low acidity as well as sweet tannin, it is a hedonistic St.-Emilion fruit bomb to enjoy in its first 12-15 years of life. Sadly, it is virtually impossible to find this head-turning claret. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
