Decanter
"Lovely aromatics on the nose. Succulent but with a gentle acidity so you get a really soft mouthwatering effect as well as sweet, jammy but also fresh fruit - cooling blueberries, creamy plums and black cherries. Feels supple and well worked with a distinct freshness and precision.
I love that lick of stone on the finish too. Sustained and direct with presence and intention.
Great stuff this vintage!"
Georgie Hindle,
Product Description:
Château de Cruzeau is situated on superb gravelly hilltops, perfectly oriented, and benefits from
ideal natural conditions for growing vines. Its red wines are always fine and elegant, the perfect
expression of the exceptional terroir of Pessac-LĂ©ognan. Delicately spicy, with notes of truffle and
undergrowth, these modern, charming wines are particularly well-balanced, with freshness, a
lovely structure and delicious fruit aromas.
THE VINTAGE
WEATHER CONDITIONS
2021 was marked by very capricious weather. There was a lot of rain in the spring. An episode of
frost at the beginning of April caused major damage. The summer was very mild, with no extreme
heat. At the end of August, fine weather set in, with high temperatures during the day and cool
nights: ideal conditions for ripening the grapes. These last few weeks were crucial to the success
of this vintage.
