2008 des croix corton-charlemagne
2008 des Croix, Corton-Charlemagne Medium yellow. The nose starts with a width of Charlemagne herbs, slowly but surely taking on a warmer, slightly heady orchard blossom aroma. Start drinking when it’s too cold and this is certainly not… Read More
The 2006’s of Domaine des Croix
Domaine des Croix is still ‘on the way’ to being settled. The major rennovations to the domaine that should have been completed by the 2007 harvest look like they should finally be complete for the 2008 harvest! It’s been a tougher time than anticipated for the manager David… Read More
des croix, 2006 corton-charlemagne
2006 des Croix, Corton-Charlemagne Medium yellow. The nose is wide and shows a complex mix of fruits; pineapple, melon, lemon and a white blossom note. Rich concentration with real intensity in the mid-palate and nicely-judged acidity. The flavours in the finish start slightly savoury and fade… Read More
05 beaunes from de montille and des croix
Two nice wines to contrast. Both are ripe and forward and both went through different phases but each retained a distinct personality – I suspect less from the winemaking as the underlying terroir. I would very happily rebuy both – if any were available at initial pricing! 2005… Read More
2005 des croix bourgogne pinot noir
I couldn’t resist it, yesterday I opened up one of my wines of the year from last year and was very happy with the result. Equally priced is another of my wines of the year last year and I just had to pull the cork! David Croix suggests aeration… Read More
Profile: Domaine des Croix (Beaune)
Domaine des Croix is work in progress. While flipping through the January issue of the magazine ‘Bourgogne Aujourd’hui’ the smiling face of the domaine’s regisseur, David Croix, greeted me. Apparently, he was the magazine’s great hope of the year in their annual awards (left). The self-effacing David told me… Read More

2009 cécile tremblay la croix blanche
2009 Cécile Tremblay, Bourgogne La Croix Blanche Still good colour – it’s aging so very slowly. Wide complex, slightly saline accents to the aroma. Round but fresh, open, still a large grain of tannin, adding richness as it warms in the glass. But this is fresh and long… Read More
David Croix – on the move…
There’s no doubt that David Croix has been very busy at two Beaune producers for the last years; working at, and then overseeing, Maison Camille Giroud since 2001 and his own Domaine des Croix (with investors), since 2005. But at the end of this year he will be making some… Read More
