Chateau La Croix Bonneau Montagne Saint Emilion 2015

Chateau La Croix Bonneau is a modest property of four hectares in Montagne, the village just to the north of Saint-Émilion. It was bought in 2005 by Eric Salmon and his family, and from the outset their aim was to improve quality in the small vineyard and cellar.

The clay soil of the Montagne Saint-Émilion appellation gives generous fruit-driven wines which tend to be more forward in their youth than those from Saint-Émilion. Eric capitalised on this generosity and reduced yields to increase ripeness even more.
