20 000
Château Croix-Mouton
100% MERLOT
20 000 vines/hectare, all work at the vine and in the winery is carried out by hand
Vingt Mille is our most exclusive wine, produced on just 1.4 hectares (3.5 acres) of vineyard. The wine is born from a desire to break the rules, innovate and push the expression of the terroir to its very limits. Planted at 20,000 vines per hectare, the vineyard is like a Japanese garden. The vines are bonzaïs, producing just 3 bunches of exceptionally concentrated fruit. Jean Philippe Janoueix created a truly grand cru wine that exudes voluptuousness and complexity. Only three to five thousand bottles are produced each vintage, and only in excellent vintages.
