Chateau Croix Mouton 2020
Not available for shipping
Château Croix Mouton 2020 is a red Bordeaux Supérieur with Merlot very much at the centre of the wine. For this vintage the blend is 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, drawn from vineyards in Lugon on the clay soils of l'Île du Carney, close to the Dordogne and on the edge of Fronsac. The result is a Bordeaux built around ripe, fleshy fruit, while keeping the fresh, approachable side associated with this wine.
The estate belongs to Jean-Philippe Janoueix Domaines. For the 2020 vintage, the grapes were sorted before vinification, fermented in concrete and stainless-steel vats, then aged for a short period on fine lees, with or without wood influence. Rather than presenting itself as a heavy or heavily oaked wine, its appeal lies in the Merlot fruit, the (…)Chateau Croix Mouton 2020 Magnum (1,5l)

Chateau Croix Mouton 2020 Magnum (1,5l)
Not available for shipping
Château Croix Mouton 2020 Magnum is a red Bordeaux Supérieur presented in the generous 1.5-litre format. The magnum is not a separate cuvée; it is the same wine in a larger bottle, giving the 2020 vintage a more generous table presence.
The wine comes from Château Croix-Mouton in Lugon, on Bordeaux's right bank, within the range of Jean-Philippe Janoueix. The 2020 blend is led almost entirely by Merlot, with a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. That Merlot dominance shapes the wine's personality: ripe, supple and fruit-driven, with structure that remains approachable.
The 2020 vintage was warm, with healthy, ripe grapes. The producer opted for relatively gentle extraction and shorter macerations than usual, aiming to keep the (…)Chateau Croix Mouton 2021

Château Croix Mouton 2021 is a dry red Bordeaux Supérieur with a clear Merlot identity. The vintage is made from 98% Merlot with 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, from Bordeaux's right bank, close to the Dordogne and the Fronsadais area.
The producer describes 2021 as a challenging year, yet the wine is presented with colour, fruit and freshness. The vineyards are planted on clay and silt-rich soils with deep clay, in a landscape noted for its biodiversity. Careful vineyard work, controlled yields and a focus on ripeness all help shape the style of this vintage.
In the cellar, the approach was gentle: sorted grapes were moved into tank by gravity without crushing, then vinified in temperature-controlled vats with regular pigeage. Ageing took place partly in (…)Chateau Croix Mouton 2021 Magnum (1,5l)

Château Croix Mouton 2021 Magnum is a red Bordeaux Supérieur from France, bottled here in the generous 1.5 litre format. It comes from Château Croix-Mouton in Lugon, on L'île du Carney on Bordeaux's right bank. The 2021 blend is firmly Merlot-led: 98% Merlot with just 2% Cabernet Sauvignon.
The estate describes 2021 as a challenging vintage, and that gives this wine a particular profile. Rather than leaning into sheer ripeness or weight, it places the focus on colour, fruit and a fresh sense of tension. It remains clearly Bordeaux, but in a medium-bodied, fruit-driven register.
The grapes come from the estate's vineyards on clay-loam soils with deep clay layers along the Dordogne and the Fronsadais. After sorting, the fruit is moved (…)Chateau Croix Mouton 2022

Château Croix Mouton 2022 is a red Bordeaux Supérieur from France with Merlot firmly at its centre. It comes from Château Croix-Mouton in Lugon-et-l'Île-du-Carnay, on the right-bank side of Bordeaux, where clay and loam soils near the Dordogne and the Fronsadais shape the setting of the wine. The result is recognisably Bordeaux, yet presented in a fruit-led, approachable style.
The 2022 blend is built around 80% Merlot, supported by other Bordeaux varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Following a particularly warm, dry summer, the estate used careful grape sorting and a vinification approach based on limited extraction and low temperature to preserve the fruit. That explains much of the wine's personality: (…)Chateau Croix Mouton Cuvee Joseph 2021 Limited Edition

Château Croix Mouton Cuvée Joseph 2021 Limited Edition is a red Bordeaux Supérieur with a presentation that immediately sets it apart.

The 2021 vintage also belongs to the estate's changing M label tradition, with this design inspired by old American boxing posters.
The wine comes from Lugon, on the banks of the Dordogne, and is linked to Jean-Philippe Janoueix. It is made from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Technical information for Château Croix-Mouton 2021 points to careful cellar work: sorting, gravity-fed handling, berries kept intact, temperature-controlled vinification and maturation using a combination of vats and barrels.

Château Francs Magnus 2019 Magnum is a red Bordeaux Supérieur in a 1.5 litre bottle. That larger format suits the wine well: this is a table-minded Bordeaux, well placed alongside red meat, lamb, duck, cassoulet, roasted poultry or cheese.
The blend is led by merlot, with cabernet franc playing a supporting role. The estate's vineyard is described as sitting on a limestone plateau with clay-limestone soils. In the cellar, stainless steel and cement are used, and the grapes are not crushed after sorting in order to preserve fruit. Maturation is mainly in tank, with a smaller part aged in one-wine barriques.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this bottle stands out as a magnum that keeps a classic Bordeaux Supérieur identity while leaning into a (…)Chateau Francs Magnus 2020

Chateau Francs Magnus 2020 is a red Bordeaux Supérieur with a clear fruit-driven personality and a recognisably Bordeaux sense of freshness. The blend is built around 90% merlot, supported by 10% cabernet franc. That gives the wine a juicy, supple centre, with the cabernet franc adding lift and a finer sense of tension.
Francs-Magnus comes from a limestone plateau, with a thin layer of clay over the limestone. That setting helps explain the style described for this wine: medium-bodied, fresh, expressive and not overly heavy. After selection, the grapes are not crushed, a choice made to preserve the fruit. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and concrete vats, followed by ageing mainly in tank, with a smaller part in used one-wine barriques.

Château Francs Magnus 2020 Magnum is a dry red Bordeaux Supérieur with merlot firmly at the centre of the blend. The 2020 vintage is made from 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc, grown on an estate of around 13 hectares set on a limestone plateau with a thin layer of clay.
Its interest lies in the way it keeps a clear fruit focus while retaining the structure of Bordeaux. After selection, the grapes are handled without crushing to help preserve fruit integrity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and concrete vats, with daily pump-overs and punch-downs, followed by ageing mainly in vat and partly in used barriques.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, this magnum fits neatly among Bordeaux wines for customers looking for a merlot-led right-bank style (…)Chateau Francs Magnus 2021

Chateau Francs Magnus 2021
In stock
Château Francs Magnus 2021 is a red Bordeaux Supérieur with a clear Right Bank profile: 90% Merlot supported by 10% Cabernet Franc. The fruit comes from Château Francs Magnus, a 13-hectare estate set on a limestone plateau in Bordeaux. Rather than presenting itself as a heavily built wine, this 2021 vintage places its emphasis on red fruit, freshness and fine structure.
The winemaking choices reinforce that direction. After selection, the grapes are not crushed, a decision aimed at preserving fruit character. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and concrete vats, while ageing is kept deliberately moderate: 70% in vat and 30% in one-wine barriques. The oak influence is present, but it remains in support of the wine rather than dominating it.

Château Francs Magnus 2022 is a red Bordeaux Supérieur with Merlot firmly at the centre of the wine. The blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, grown on limestone-rich soils with a thin layer of clay. That limestone setting matters here: the wine is described with ripe fruit, but also with freshness, precision and a chalky mineral thread.
Arnaud Roux-Oulié took over Château Francs-Magnus in 2011. For the 2022 vintage, the selected grapes were carefully sorted and not crushed. Fermentation took place in stainless steel and concrete vats, with remontage and pigeage guided by tasting during vinification. The wine then aged for 16 months, mostly in vats, with 30% in once-used French oak barrels. The result is a Bordeaux where structure is present, (…)
