In Bordeaux’s Saint-Emilion appellation, Chateau La Croix Calendreau exists. The owners of this chateau also own vineyard holdings around the city of Libourne, which are classified as Bordeaux Superieur. As confusing as it might be, the wine made from those holdings is also known as La Croix Calendreau. The vital distinction is the Bordeaux Superieur suffix.

In what seems more the norm than the exception, the 2020 vintage in Bordeaux was stellar. The weather enabled growers to raise a healthy fruit crop with optimal balance and expression. This humble Bordeaux Superieur punches through its class and price point. Medium/full-bodied, its fruit is expressive and dialed in to share the stage with its acidity, easy tannins, and structure.
