Château Croix Cardinale 2020 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a red Bordeaux wine from the prestigious right bank appellation of Saint-Émilion in France. Sold as a case of six 750mL bottles, this estate ranks among the top producers in its region and has earned consistent acclaim across multiple vintages.

The 2020 vintage shows a deep purple colour with a violet hue and an almost black core. On the nose, it offers aromatic character with fine toasting, hints of graphite and coconut, backed by dark berries and ripe black cherries. On the palate, it is well-balanced with ripe yet firm tannins, restrained fruit, and discreet spiciness, displaying a good length with a slightly mouth-watering finish. The wine is a classic Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet-Sauvignon, typical of the Saint-Émilion appellation. It carries 14.5% ABV and contains sulfites.

The 2020 vintage is recommended for drinking now through 2025, with a suggested decanting time of 45 minutes. The wine pairs well with beef, lamb, poultry, and game meats such as venison. It is best served at cellar temperature to fully appreciate its complexity and structure.
