Wine Review: Chateau La Croix du Casse Pomerol 2024 (En Primeur)

Wine-Searcher’s Wine Director, David Allen MW is currently in Bordeaux and has just started his en-primeur tastings for the 2024 vintage. His first stop was a visit to Chateau Trotte Vielle in Saint Emilion where he tasted the wines from the Casteja family’s estates on the Right Bank – with Philippe Casteja. He starts with Chateau La Croix du Casse Pomerol 2024

Château la Croix du Casse is a winery in the French region of Bordeaux. The vineyards lie in the Right Bank appellation of Pomerol and benefit from both the gravel and sandy soils. The winery produces each year a single red wine using a blend of either Cabernet Franc or Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot. Both steel tanks and French oak are used in the vinification process, and the wines are well known their rich, fruity flavor profile.

The winery was for a long time owned by Jean-Michel Arcaute, who also owned other high-profile Bordeaux estates like Château Jonqueyres and Château Clinet. Well recognized as one of the region’s innovators, Arcaute tragically died in an accident in 2001. The winery was purchased in 2005 by the Castéja family.
