Fremières

I like the salinity and punch and this should age well yet drink reasonably well young too

anise and the sauvage adding breadth to the ripe dark currant scents

A tight and very balanced white with sliced-apple

Croix Saint Georges (Saint Georges St Emilion) Vintage:2008 FremièresA dense plum ruby purple color is accompanied by sweet aromas of chocolatey black cherry and black currant fruit intertwined with a notion of wood smoke. Fashioned from a blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc, it is a round, opulent, pure, elegant effort created by Michel Rollands top assistant, Jean Philippe Fort, and proprietor Jean Philippe Janoueix. Drink it over the next decade or more.
