The choice of the grape variety is important. This is what gives the wine its taste and characteristics. However, this is only one of the factors that influences taste, as the soil and the winemaking technique are also extremely important factors. The choice of wine varieties at Château de la Croix remains traditional for the Médoc vintage brand: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon (tannins and colour) 45% Merlot (suppleness and fruit) 4% Cabernet franc (ripe fruits) 1% Petit Verdot (alcohol content)
