Description
In a nutshell:
An excellent value, unoaked, ripe and rounded Right Bank Claret.
The lowdown:
Château La Croix Ferrandat is made by the Saint Emilion cooperative which is the oldest in Bordeaux and widely admired for their quality and value. It's a blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernets Franc & Sauvignon from vineyards just south of the town of Saint Emilion. It's made without ageing in oak which allows the plummy and rich blackberry flavours stand out. The soft tannins give it good structure and its smooth and rounded in the mouth with a clean lingering finish.
The Producer:
La Croix Ferrandat comes from the Union de Producteurs de Saint-Émilion, the largest producer on Bordeaux's Right Bank, boasting an extensive portfolio of growers. Formed in 1931, they operate in an appellation brimming with small-scale vignerons and they provide the necessary facilities to help their members bring their products to market. Their range of wines focuses primarily on the Merlot-dominated wines of Saint Emilion.
When to drink:
Soft, seductive and fruity it's good to enjoy on its own or with things like slow braised beef dishes, fruity lamb tagines or mature cheeses.
