Sommelier's Notes

The Carles Vineyards were established by Jean-Claude Carles and his wife Marie-Danielle Carles to consolidate and cultivate family properties acquired over the years in the St-Emilion terroir.


Château Panet serves as the flagship of the estate, having been handed down from Jean-Claude's great aunt in 1924, and it now serves as the main production site.


Jean-Claude was deeply passionate about wine and vineyard work, and he continued to expand the vineyard holdings.


In 1948, he acquired Clos La Rose, an area with significant potential due to its diverse soils, which brought novelty to the estate's range of wines.


In 1957, he purchased Château Haut-Fonrazade, a property that allowed him to meet the high demand for wine in the post-war years.


In 1961, he fell in love with Château Coudert, a beautiful and promising site that he added to his vineyards.


Alongside his wife, Marie-Danielle, they decided to completely renovate the building while preserving the majestic tower dating back to around 1800.


This became their family home and the vineyard for one of their finest wines.


In 1994, Mrs. Carles inherited a portion of the family estate in Pomerol and created the vintage Château Croix des Rouzes, expanding the Carles Vineyards into the prestigious Bordeaux wine appellation, Pomerol.


Today, the legacy is carried on by Jérôme and Gilles Carles, the two sons who have taken the reins of the family business and are actively contributing to its growth.


Together, they acquired Clos Jacquemeau in 1999 to produce their own vintage. They bring a fresh perspective to the family business, introducing a new management style focused on building strong relationships to strengthen the team's cohesion.


Additionally, they implement new technologies and innovations to showcase the estate's vintages.


Château Croix-des-Rouzes is a very balanced, fruity wine with a beautiful delicacy.


The Château Croix-des-Rouzes vintage was created by Marie-Danielle Carles following the legacy of her parents in 1994.


Located northwest of the village of Pomerol, the nineteenth century house offers incredible views over the vineyards of the estate.


The evolution of the vines and their grapes can be observed over the seasons.

Did you know?: As owners in Saint-Émilion since 1880 (Château Panet, in Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, in the northeastern part of the appellation), the Carles family expanded their vineyard after 1945 in the surrounding areas (Clos la Rose, Haut-Fonrazade, Coudert, Clos Jacquemeau). They also inherited a 3-hectare plot in Pomerol in 1994, which they named Château Croix des Rouzes. At the helm of these estates since 1999 is Jérôme Carles.
Specifications
Dark black purple
On the nose the Château Croix-des-Rouzes Pomerol of Maison Carles in the region of Bordeaux often reveals types of flavours of cherry, oaky or red fruit and sometimes also flavours of tobacco, vanilla or plum.
On the palate, the wine is concentrated and deep, offering abundant black fruit flavours, with a stronger presence of plum notes than cherry. The acidity is well-balanced and naturally present, and there are plenty of ripe skin tannins that impart a soft and tongue-coating texture to the wine.
16C - 18C
The Château Croix-des-Rouzes Pomerol of Maison Carles matches generally quite well with dishes of beef, lamb or game (deer, venison) such as recipes of braised beef with carrots, ghormeh sabzi (iranian herbed lamb stew) or rabbit and mushroom gibelotte.
