On first pour, the Chateau La Croix Du Duc Bordeaux exhibited an almost dark cranberry color. Scents of currant and cassis prevail as this Bordeaux hits the glass and swirls about.
The stately, unassuming label, indicative of its French heritage, is plain in its beige, nearly uniform design. The bottle's dark visage underscoring the strong fruit color contained within, bears an ornate suncross.
Full of black cherry, the Chateau La Croix Du Duc Bordeaux delivers a burst of fruit to the palate. Rich plum and fine tannins rule as this nectar breathes life into your mouth. The subtle blend, an 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc & 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Vivino, the free wine app, rates Chateau La Croix Du Duc Bordeaux a 3.7 with a limited number of reviews. I might hedge a bit higher as the price, at $10.99, is truly a bargain wine lover's value. This smooth, and a true Bordeaux, Chateau La Croix Du Duc offers the best of French Bordeaux at a value price.
Perfect with beef, veal, or poultry, I enjoyed this with a nice pork loin followed by a small serving of mixed nuts.
The 2015 Chateau La Croix Du Duc Bordeaux is a great deal and deserving of your table.
