Château Croix Puyblanquet

AOC SAINT-EMILION

TASTING

A “Saint-Emilion” with an intense and deep ruby colour.

A complex nose of red fruits and persistent lactic notes.

And a full attack, a nice balance between fine tannins and a nice structure that gives this wine a pleasant length.

FOOD PAIRING

This “Saint-Emilion” will perfectly match a roast duck, a roast chicken, a pork tenderloin or even soft cheeses like Morbier, Gouda or goat.
