Nature has been especially generous to Château de Cruzeau, whose superb gravel rises with perfect sun exposure were predestined for winegrowing. Such natural gifts could only produce an elegant wine reflecting one of the finest terroirs in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. The men and women who have made wine at Cruzeau since the 17th century have always worked hard to bring out its intrinsic personality and bouquet with hints of truffle and forest floor.
Rich and Powerful
Cabernet Sauvignon 55% / Merlot 45%
The 2017 vintage was one of the earliest on record. The growing season was marked by a dry winter and spring (46% less rainfall than usual), accompanied by temperatures 2°C above average (except for the frost in April). This dry summer weather was ideal for ripening the seeds until late August.
2017 Château de Cruzeau is a beautiful, intense garnet-red colour.
It is spicy, charming, and very rich on the nose, combining red and black fruit notes (blackberry).
2017 Château de Cruzeau is equally delicious on the palate, displaying very ripe juicy fruit flavours (blackberry) alongside oaky nuances, enhancing the wine's overall aromatic complexity. It is an ideal partner for beef fillet, stuffed quail, or braised veal shank.
This has attractive, ripe mixed berries and gently leafy nuances. Good ripeness on the palate with a wealth of rich, fleshy dark-berry flavor. Drink or hold.
