Chateau Croizet Bages - Medoc 5eme Cru Classe

DESCRIPTION / TASTING NOTE

All the purity of crunchy and charming fruit lingers on candied cherry notes. A touch of petit verdot gives the wine all its colourful verve. The cabernet sauvignon, the true backbone of this great wine, brings an aromatic power and length that will reveal itself in the coming years. With notes of black fruit and cedarwood, the tannic structure combines lovely fatness and fullness with remarkable generosity. Matured in French oak barrels for 12 to 14 months, the wines are delicate and velvety in texture. Rich, deep and elegant, Château Croizet-Bages will open up an aromatic palette of ripe plum with nuances of cocoa, spice and leather as it develops.

ABOUT PRODUCER

The name Château Croizet-Bages dates back to the 17th century when the Croizet brothers, an emblematic dynasty of the Médoc landed gentry, founded this wine estate in the heart of the Pauillac appellation.

The wine estate is currently undergoing further improvements, which are to be effectively operating in 2024. New technical installations are gradually rising, including new vathouse and barrel cellars to support the vine plot's specific-soil tillage carried out in the vineyard.

Year after year, Anne-Françoise and Jean-Philippe analyse, refine and improve each stage of our winemaking processes, rethinking them for prospective viticulture excellence. Because a family Grand Cru is, above all, a crossroad between exceptional terroirs and people who take the time to cherish them.
