Vinified in barrels

orange peel and cedar get the show started

This should have a long and positive development in bottle

ultra fine tannins and beautiful red-berry and floral character at the end

2016 | Jean-Philippe Janoueix Château Croix-Mouton | Bordeaux Supérieur (1.5L) Clos de l'Oratoire Vinified in barrelsThe 2016 Croix Mouton has an attractive, perfumed, floral bouquet with crushed violet petals infusing the ripe black cherry and cassis fruit. I appreciate the elegance on display here. The palate is medium bodied with sappy black fruit, well judged acidity, a pleasant saline and black olive note surfacing towards the fresh finish. This Bordeaux Suprieur from Jean Philippe Janoueix can often punch above its class and the 2016 is one of those. Robert
