Information:	Chateau Le Cros Arnaud Delaire and Nicolas Baptiste, owners of the prestigious Château Pas de l’Ane since 2001, have recently been able to purchase old vines next to their winery belonging to the famous SCEA Château Cros Figeac. Gifted with a fantastic terroir, a step away from Château Cheval Blanc, Château Le Cros is reborn into a unique Château and benefits from one of the best soils in France…quite promising! Terroir: This wine is produced on a clayish soil with limestone. The average age of the vine grapes are 40 years old with 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc. Harvest: The harvest is hand made in crate selecting on vine of maximum maturity. All the grape-gathering is sorted on table. Vinification: The alcoholic fermentation is made in stainless steel vats with thermoregulation and wooden tanks. Malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. Aging up to 12 month in one year old oak barrels Sustainable Estate Winemakers: Arnaud Delaire and Nicolas Baptiste
