Château Croix de Labrie, how it moved from a small “garage wine” to a sought-after label:
In the late 20th century, a type of small-scale, high-attention winemaking emerged on the Right Bank of Bordeaux under the name “garage wines” (vin de garage) — characterised by tiny parcels, limited production, premium treatments, and a certain outsider spirit.
Château Croix de Labrie entered into that world: when it had only a couple of hectares under vine in the early 1990s, with artisanal approach and boutique scale.
The estate’s wine-making was intense, yield-limited, and crafted with higher ambition than many conventional Bordeaux estates of similar size.
Tiny production: The small size of the vineyard and the low yields mean limited availability, which naturally increases desirability.
Quality-focus & modern winemaking: With experienced consultants and a push to refine vineyard care and barrel ageing, the wines quickly began attracting serious critical attention.
Recognition & classification progress: The estate was elevated in status (notably in the Saint‑Émilion Grand Cru Classé 2022 revision) — this kind of official acknowledgement helps embed the “cult” aura.
Hype & rarity: The combination of standout reviews, limited supply and this “garage wine” back-story gives it the ingredients of what many collectors seek when they talk of a cult Bordeaux: exclusivity, story, and quality.
