Counting Château Petit Village, Vieux Château Certan, La Croix and Le Pin as near neighbours, the modest estate of Château La Croix St Georges cultivating about 95% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc. The château was previously home to the Order of Hospitaliers of Saint John of Jerusalem. On the 2011 grand vin. "One of Pomerol`s more reasonably priced offerings, the 2011 La Croix Saint-Georges reveals a dense purple colour along with a sweet bouquet of melted chocolate, toasty oak, blackberries and cedar. Full-bodied with outstanding ripeness, a supple texture, decent acidity and well-integrated tannin, it should drink well for 10-15 years." Robert Parker, 2012
