Lemon takes over on the concentrated palate

Jean-Philippe Janoueix Chateau Croix-Mouton, Bordeaux Superieur, France 2016 Chateau Joanin Becot Lemon takes over on theThe 2016 Croix Mouton has an attractive, perfumed, floral bouquet with crushed violet petals infusing the ripe black cherry and cassis fruit.

This Bordeaux Suprieur from Jean Philippe Janoueix can often punch above its class and the 2016 is one of those. Wine
