Château La Croix Lartigue 2022 – Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux

The nose is fruity, fresh, racy. It expresses a little peppery, spicy side, notes of pulpy blackberry, pulpy raspberry and more slightly – crushed cherry associated with touches of licorice stick, camphor and fresh blond tobacco. The palate is fresh, mineral and offers juiciness, tension, roundness, smoothness, a mineral/fresh frame, a certain tension. It expresses notes of bigarreau cherry, crushed blackberry and more slightly – crushed raspberry, associated with touches of toast, vanilla as well as hints of sweet blond tobacco. Good length and definition. Good freshness. A discreet, almost prune-like hint of darkness.
