Created in the 1920's by Jean-Baptiste Bourotte's grandfather, Monregard La Croix is a Pomerol on sandy clay soils with some gravel on the surface close to the Border of St Emilion. The old sands here produce a particularly seductive style of Merlot that matures early and gives elegant relatively gentle tannin's making the wine approachable from an early age.
A 1.30 hectare plot of 100% Merlot producing approximately 500 cases each year from 40 year old vines. Matured for 8 months in French oak barrels of which 30% are new and 70% 2nd year.
