Just Arrived: Château Cruzeau 2016 | AOC Saint-Émillion Grand Cru
Back by popular demand! We received another 14-cases of our best-selling wine from the fabulous 2016 vintage, Château Cruzeau. Head winemaker, Tristan Luquot, employs innovative winemaking techniques alongside centuries-old traditions to create a truly remarkable expression of the ancient terroirs of Saint-Émillion.
The limestone-rich subsoils of Saint-Émillion contribute to complexity; notably longer-lived with higher acid. Limestone is formed from fossilized fish that once lived in the seabeds, and can be found in other prominent wine-producing regions such as Champagne and Burgundy.
James Suckling 92 Points
Dense and linear with a pretty finish of currants, crushed stones, cement and berries. Full-bodied, tight and tannic. Very attractive.
Wine Enthusiast 92 Points
This fortified chateau dates to the 16th century. Today's wine comes from 11 acres of vines dominated by Merlot. It is a firmly structured wine, with good tannins, ripe blackberries and spiciness. Still firm, the wine needs to age.
This is our best-selling wine and one that everyone who tries truly enjoys.
