2010 La Croix de Beaucaillou, St Julien

La Croix de Beaucaillou, St Julien
With fabulous concentration, this is really exciting, concentrated and serious and it holds its own against the truly inspirational Grand Vin. It has such a lovely fresh vibrancy and a great depth that is worthy of a far higher-ranked wine. This could be a brilliant buy dependant on the price.
(85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot)

Very good depth of Cabernet-dominated fruit, lightly spicy, silky length, perfect balance.

La Croix de Beaucaillou, St Julien
Since 2005 it is no longer a second wine but from a plot in the centre of the appellation with less estuarine influence. Very deep crimson. Deep crimson. Very rich and round. Suave and convincing. Lots of life and masses of fruit. €30-35 euros. A new label designed by a British designer will be launched at Annabels, London in May.

La Croix de Beaucaillou, St Julien
Coming from a totally separate vineyard, this blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot sports a dramatic label designed by Jade Jagger, the daughter of rock legend Mick. The wine is richly fruity, lush, fleshy, very flamboyant, and seems to have more in common with the 2009 vintage than the more structured, backward and restrained 2010s. The wine is medium to full-bodied, luscious and best drunk over the next 10-15 years.
