This biodynamic producer is creating wines that punch well above their price. A blend of Malbec, Carmenere, Petit Verdot and Merlot gives this wine concentrated flavours of leather, spice and savoury tones. With ripe tannins and juicy black-currant flavours, this wine is both structured and fruity. The long finish lends itself perfectly to roasted lamb or beef dishes.

Chateau La Croix de Roche is owned by Isabelle and Francois Maurin, along with their son Raphael. The domaine is set over 20 hectares of south eastern facing vineyards on the right bank of Bordeaux. The owners are passionate rugby fans and are also keen to push the boundarys of their winemaking. The domaine is organic and strives to produce good quality wines.
