I appreciate the elegance displayed by this wine. On the palate, it has a medium body, juicy black fruits, well-dosed acidity and a pleasant salty note of black olives, which is felt before the fresh end. This Bordeaux Supérieur made by Jean-Philippe Janoueix often rises above its class, and 2016 is no exception. ” 90 Vinous Points / Antonio Galloni: Croix-Mouton 2016 is a wonderful wine from Jean-Philippe Janoueix. Velvety, with an extraordinary freshness, the wine is very representstive for a year of harvest that gave dense but vibrant wines. The aromas of crème de cassis, chocolate, spices and new skin penetrate the juicy end of this Bordeaux Supérieur. I tasted it three times. ”
