Tasting Note :
Château Croix de Labrie Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is the jewel of the estate and is made from grapes coming from the Badon plots, alongside Château Pavie and from the top of Saint-Christophe des Bardes, just beside the cellars that date back to 1687. This is a Merlot varietal like the best of the crus classés. Château Croix de Labrie is a Grand Cru and is one of that select family, perhaps the best of the small estates — very exclusive and rare.
