Chateau Vin

2001 Saint-Estephe Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet, Petit Verdot

Chateau La Croix De Pez Chateau Vin is a stunning 2001 vintage that shines brightly as a quintessential representative of the Saint-Estephe region. This red wine boasts a full-bodied structure, reflecting the robust essence of its Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot blend. The wine exhibits pronounced acidity that brings a delightful liveliness to each sip, enhancing its complexity. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing rich notes of dark berries and plums interwoven with subtle layers of oak and earthy undertones. Tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing a firm backbone that invites further aging or immediate enjoyment. As an off-dry wine, it strikes a wonderful balance, making it an exceptional choice for various pairings, from sumptuous red meats to hearty vegetarian dishes.
