chateau la croix romane, lalande de pomerol
The Chateau La Croix Romane was renamed by the Dubard family in recognition of the rich local history. The church of Lalande de Pomerol, close to the estate, was built in the XIIth century; it is romanesque, a period in art history dating from the year 1030 to the first half of the XIIth century. The church was built under the aegis of the hospitalers of St John of Jerusalem (that were later known as “The Knights of Malta”); their insignia, an eight-pointed white cross, has become the emblem for the wines of Lalande de Pomerol.
mouton cadet, bordeaux blanc
The wine has a fine, light straw color with pale gold highlights and a refined, fresh nose on which distinctive floral combine with highly elegant notes of Sauvignon and a hint of toast. Sauvignon brings refinement and texture, while Semillon and Muscadelle give substance and the impression of roundness in the mouth. The long finish, expressive and harmonious on ripe fruit with a slightly mineral tinge, is entirely typical of the appellation.
