Pauillac in essence, the wines of Château Croizet-Bages are sunny and generous.
To perfect the most delicate blends, the Merlot, harvested relatively early, brings roundness to the great wine. On notes of candied cherry, it expresses all the purity of a crunchy and charming fruit. The Petit Verdot, present in a tiny quantity, gives all its colorful ardor to the wine. The backbone of a great wine, Cabernet Sauvignon brings a long-lasting aromatic power that will reveal itself after a few years of aging. With notes of black fruits and cedar, the tannic structure reveals fatness, fullness and generosity.
Aged for 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels, the wines are fine and have a velvety texture. Rich, deep, elegant, passing through time, Château Croizet-Bages opens up aromatic horizons of plum, cocoa, spices and leather.
