Produced in the Lussac Saint-Émilion appellation on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, Château La Croix de Chéreau reflects the region’s reputation for producing smooth and fruit-forward Bordeaux wines with elegant tannins and excellent ageing potential.

Crafted primarily using Merlot alongside Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine benefits from vineyard conditions that help develop concentrated berry fruit flavours while preserving freshness and structure. Merlot contributes softness and ripe plum fruit, Cabernet Franc adds aromatic complexity and spice, while Cabernet Sauvignon provides additional structure and depth.
Careful oak ageing helps integrate flavours of cedar, cocoa, tobacco, and gentle spice into the wine while maintaining balance and elegance. The result is a polished and expressive Bordeaux with smooth tannins and broad food pairing appeal.
