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 40% / Merlot 60%
2018 was one of the warmest years since 1900, featuring above-average temperatures, the second hottest summer to date, and abundant sunshine… Heavy rainfall in the first half of the year was followed by persistent, near-record drought conditions in September.
Attractive ruby-red colour.
The bouquet is wonderfully intense, revealing a lovely combination of red fruit notes mingled with hints of vanilla, acquired during barrel ageing.
Starts out attractive and very fruity on the palate, underpinned by noticeable tannin, yet not excessively so. Delicious red fruit and vanilla notes once again come to the fore. Excellent tension on the finish, contributing a lovely long aftertaste. This fairly young wine is worth ageing two or three years to fully reveal all its qualities. Ideal served with cheese platters, duck confit or braised lamb shank.
Beautiful dark, lively red colour. The bouquet is fresh and fruity, with ripe black and red berry notes and hints of understated oak. Starts out straightforward and characterful on the palate, with fruity flavours intensifying on the finish. A wine with plenty of character.
