Chateau La Croix Romane, Lalande de Pomerol
The Chateau La Croix Romane was renamed by the Dubard family in recognition of the rich local history. The church of Lalande de Pomerol, close to the estate, was built in the XIIth century; it is romanesque, a period in art history dating from the year 1030 to the first half of the XIIth century. The church was built under the aegis of the hospitalers of St John of Jerusalem (that were later known as “The Knights of Malta”); their insignia, an eight-pointed white cross, has become the emblem for the wines of Lalande de Pomerol.
