Winemaker and Vineyard: Sacré Coeur is produced on a small 1.5 hectare plot on the magnificent terroir of Château La Croix, owned by the Janoueix family in Pomerol. A short distance from Château La Croix Saint Georges, the terroir of this plot consists of beautiful gravels and fine sands. A combination that allows for both beautiful maturation of grapes and great complexity. Châteaux Le Pin, Pétrus, and Petit Village are our pleasant neighbors in this prestigious Appellation.

Tasting: The nose is fruity and offers fine tension. It reveals notes of crushed blackberry, blackcurrant and, to a lesser extent, strawberry, associated with touches of small blue fruits, blueberry, licorice, as well as touches of sweet spices, lilac and vanilla pod. The palate is fruity, greedy, balanced, and offers an acidic frame, juiciness, and tension. In the mouth, this wine expresses notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and more lightly of blueberry, lily, combined with touches of raspberry, small red berries as well as slight hints of rose, licorice, blond tobacco, and nutmeg/spices. Good length.

Service: Serve at room temperature (16-18°C) to accompany a veal roast with figs.
