Descrizione

Croix De Certain 2022 presents itself as a red wine from Pomerol with measured and convincing expressiveness. In the glass it shows an intense ruby colour with violet highlights; on the nose there are notes of ripe red and dark fruit, accompanied by light hints of sweet spice and an overall elegant aromatic profile. On the palate the sip is balanced, with medium-full body, smoothed tannins and a freshness that supports the progression without overpowering the fruity flavours. The persistence is steady and leaves impressions of fruit and a slight sapidity.

This wine is suitable to be enjoyed both in relatively short time and after a few years in bottle, provided it is stored under proper conditions. It pairs with dishes of medium structure: flavourful white meats, roasts that are not overly elaborate, semi-mature cheeses and mushroom-based preparations. Recommended serving temperature is around 16–18 °C, avoiding excess heat so as not to blunt the freshness. A discreet choice for those seeking an accessible yet present Pomerol.

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.
