CHATEAU LA CROIX YOUNAN

Member of  The Grand Cercle des Vins de Bordeaux

 “The 2017 La Croix Younan is plump, juicy and super-expressive. Succulent dark cherry, red plum, spice, new leather and licorice all infuse the 2017 with striking richness. Sumptuous, and racy, this stylish Saint-Émilion appears to have quite a bit of potential in future vintages.” – 91 Points
