The story

The story behind Croix De Chene

Croix De Chene translates to Cross of the Oak, a name rooted in French vineyard parcels marked by sacred crosses and shaded by ancient oaks. The most prominent expression is a Right Bank Bordeaux blend from Pomerol, where small family estates craft Merlot-based wines aged in oak barrels. A southern blend from the Rhone and Languedoc border, near the Roman Pont du Gard, relies on Syrah and Grenache grown on stone-covered soils. Each bottle reflects its terroir, whether the structured Pomerol or the fruit-forward southern style.

For over thirty years, we have watched this label evolve, always offering value and a true taste of France. The wines are dry, with high fruit expression and virtually no residual sugar. Whether you choose the Merlot Syrah blend or the Pinot Noir, you are getting an honest French red that overdelivers.

Croix De Chene questions, answered

Is Croix De Chene a dry or sweet wine?
It is completely dry. Like most French red table wines from Bordeaux and the Languedoc, it features high fruit expression but contains virtually no residual sugar.
How long can I age these bottles?
The Southern Syrah/Grenache and Pinot Noir varieties are designed to be enjoyed fresh or within 3 years of harvest. Well-structured vintages of the Pomerol blend can develop nicely for 3 to 8 years if stored in a dark, temperature-controlled environment.
Why do some labels read "Croix de Chêne" and others "Croix du Chêne"?
This is simply a linguistic variation based on the exact historical parcel name. "De Chêne" means "of oak", while "Du Chêne" means "of the oak". Both refer to distinct vineyards that honor regional oak trees.
