Les Cruzelles

Case Format: 6x75cl

Drink To: 2043

Chateau Les Cruzelles was purchased in 2000 by the late Denis Durantou, more widely known for his other estate, Chateau L’Eglise Clinet. Les Cruzelles lies on a small surface of about 2.1 acres and produces about 2000 cases per year. The vineyard is split almost equally between Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with soils that have slightly more clay than it will be found at Chateau L’Eglise Clinet.

Panos Kakaviatos

A Lalande-de-Pomerol that offers not only pleasure but sophistication, as this wine delivers not only ripe fresh red and black fruit but also beguiling wet stone minerality - in spades - along with minty lift from the Cabernet Franc in the blend. component. I also admire the juicy mid palate (a fleshy wine) and a long finish marked by damson and seashell freshness. The ageing in 55% new oak will only broaden the palate. I am a buyer - and you should be, too.

Jane Anson

A vintage where the gap between Cruzelles and La Chenade is wide, and even on the nose it is clear that there are more depths and density to this wine. Love the texture, the depth of raspberry and damson fruits, shot through with black tea, sage and fennel. This is really a brilliant Cruzelles, 55% new oak. Harvest September 1 to 18. 42hl/h yield. Noëmie Durantou winemaker.
