the Cuvée Prestige is super-expressive

there is enough to go around

dark-cherry and dark plum zone

with a chalk sensation nicely offset by a bump of residual acidity

Jean-Philippe Janoueix Chateau Croix-Mouton, Bordeaux Superieur, France 2016 Wagram the Cuvée Prestige is super-expressiveThe 2016 Croix Mouton has an attractive, perfumed, floral bouquet with crushed violet petals infusing the ripe black cherry and cassis fruit. I appreciate the elegance on display here. The palate is medium bodied with sappy black fruit, well judged acidity, a pleasant saline and black olive note surfacing towards the fresh finish. This Bordeaux Suprieur from Jean Philippe Janoueix can often punch above its class and the 2016 is one of those. Wine
