Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2008 La Confession is a sleeper of the vintage. Super successful, this spicy wine exhibits some toasty oak and loads of licorice, espresso roast, blackberry and cassis. A blend of 66% Merlot and 34% Cabernet Franc, it hit 13.8% natural alcohol. The purity, the texture, and the multi-layered mouthfeel all are impressive and make this wine very drinkable now but capable of lasting for at least another 12-15 years.
• James Suckling: Violet and sandalwood on the nose, with dark fruits. Medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and fresh fruit. A little lean on the palate, but pretty.Producer Information

Producer Information

Jean-Philippe Janoueix Domaines is a Bordeaux producer with a collection of châteaux based in the Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion and Grand Cru appellations of Saint-Émilion, as well as Pomerol and Bordeaux Supérieur. Founder Jean-Philippe Janoueix comes from the revered Bordeaux winemaking dynasty. The family business was created in 1898 by Joseph Janoueix, with Jean-Philippe Janoueix establishing his own branch of the business in 1994. Today, he has accumulated a wine portfolio including Château Haut-Pontet and Château La Confession (Saint-Émilion), Château Croix-Mouton (AOC Bordeaux Supérieur), as well as Château La Croix Saint-Georges and Château Sacre Coeur (Pomerol). The 4 hectare (10 acre) vineyard parcel at La Croix Saint-Georges is planted predominantly to Merlot (91-percent), with the rest dedicated to Cabernet Franc (9-percent). These vines average 38 years old and are planted in Pomerol’s triangular section of ancient sands. These sandy soils are also home to several more of the domaine’s vineyard plots, including its La Croix-Toulifaut cru.
