The Trocard family has been running Château la Croix for 14 generations (1628). Known as a high-quality vineyard in the heart of Libournais, it encompasses Saint Emilion and Pomerol. Starting with just a few hectares in the XVII century, Jean Trocard's talented winemaking continued the tradition in 1945, followed by his son and daughter-in-law, Jean-Louis Trocard and Elizabeth Trocard-Decons, in 1976. Since then, the Trocard Vineyards have acquired an international stature with extension of the vineyard area from 20 to 90 hectares.

  • Winemaker: Jean-Louis Trocard
  • Farming: Organic
  • Variety: 50% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc
  • Terroir: Gravel slopes. Pomerol-facing vineyard with Southern exposure. 
  • Vinification/Aging: Hand harvested to ensure optimum maturity and sorting. Aged 14 months in 50% new oak barriques. 
  • Tasting Notes: Generous and berry-forward on the nose. Blackcurrant, red fruits, and menthol sweep the palate. Structured and complex, yet smooth.
