Château La Croix St-André
Château La Croix St-André sits in Lalande-de-Pomerol, the Libournais appellation that shadows Pomerol's prestige while charting its own course. The region's clay-and-iron soils yield wines of dark fruit and structure, anchored by Merlot with supporting roles for Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec. The château's Lalande-de-Pomerol reflects this terroir: a blend built on the region's signature earthiness and mid-palate weight, with the tannin grip that Cabernet varieties bring to the Right Bank. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator have assessed the wines here, finding merit in their balance of ripe fruit and mineral tension. Lalande-de-Pomerol remains a region for drinkers who value substance over flash—wines that age, that pair with food, that reward patience.
