Chateau Croix d’Allons

RED

2020

Young and with a light spice but in contrast to many wines of the area easy to drink even in these early years. Comprising 90% Mourvedre and 10% Grenache and an alcohol content of 14% the wine can be laid down for about 5 to 10 years to achieve full body.

Cost: 18 Euros / bottle

WHITE

2021

Good nose but a bit closed on the taste, this white has the hint of salt from the sea just beyond the hills and a touch of summer melon. This white punches in at 13.5%.

Cost: 19.50 Euros / bottle

ROSE

2020 & 2021

60% Mourvedre, 20% Granache, 20% Cincault. A lovely wine in a lovely bottle that in another country might be used for a dark beer rather than wine. The 2020 has a better aroma over the 2021 - with more fruit in the bouquet.. perhaps a reflection of the wetter summer that year compared with dryer 2021.

Cost: 18 Euros / bottle
