Critics Ratings

'La Croix du Casse remains an unheralded, but high-class source of rich, concentrated Pomerols. A potential sleeper, the opaque ruby/purple-colored 1999 displays super-ripe (sur-maturite as the French say) flavors of jammy black fruits intermixed with minerals, smoke, spice box, and new oak. Layered, with low acidity as well as a thick, expansive texture, this top-flight Pomerol should evolve quickly, yet age well.' - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 89-91/100 (Apr 2001)
