Score 89/100 · Drink 2026-2033, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Mar 2026

The 2023 La Croix du Casse is bright, fruity and easy to drink. The riper side of the vintage comes through nicely in this soft, open-knit Pomerol. Hints of cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and mint add layers of aromatic presence.

The 2023 La Croix du Casse has a light black cherry and strawberry-scented bouquet, simple but clean. The palate is quite sharp on the entry, a little pinched in style with an attenuated finish that just needs more flesh around the tannins. A bit dry.

Good depth of black plums, black cherries, graphite and violets. Ripe and plush, with medium to full body and a flavorful, rich center palate. Tannins are tight-grained and abundant. Nice opulence. A blend of 96% merlot and 4% cabernet franc. Drink or hold.

Score 90-92/100 · Drink 2026-2038, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider, May 2024

Plums, cocoa, herbs, and flowers form the perfume. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, fresh, juicy, fruity, soft-textured, forward, upbeat, and already charming in your glass, with its minty, plummy, and cocoa endnote. The wine blends 96% Merlot, with 4% Cabernet Franc. 14.5% ABV.
