Descrizione

Croix De Certain 2021 is a red wine from Pomerol presenting an immediate, sincere aromatic profile. On the nose there are notes of ripe red fruit, plum and small forest berries, accompanied by floral hints and discreet minerality. The aromatic expression remains fresh and not heavy, with a balance between juiciness and a saline component that invites drinking.

On the palate it shows balanced structure, with a full but not heavy body and fine tannins that support the sip without dominating. The finish is pleasant and persistent, with a return of the fruity sensations and a slight earthy note. It pairs well with red meats, game birds, aged cheeses and traditional ragout-based dishes. Recommended to serve around 16–18 °C and, if desired, open the bottle an hour before to let the wine breathe. It can be enjoyed now or left to evolve in bottle for a few years.

Winery history

Wine region with ancient roots: vineyards have been present since Roman times, with significant development in the Middle Ages through the activity of local religious orders. Pomerol's modern reputation was consolidated between the 19th and 20th centuries; the area has been recognized as a distinct appellation and is included in the AOC regulations established in France.

Production philosophy

Production centered on terroir and on enhancing small parcels: many producers run relatively small estates, favoring practices that prioritize grape quality and the expression of the soil rather than high yields or formal classifications.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in the Libournais near the River Isle, Pomerol is a plateau with heterogeneous soils: clays mixed with gravel and sand, and a subsoil rich in iron oxides. Its boundaries include the Barbanne stream to the north, and it lies adjacent to Saint-Émilion and Libourne.
