The 2022 Les Cruzelles is a wine of notable breadth and texture. Older vines and clay-rich soils yield a Lalande de Pomerol that offers notable resonance. Dark-toned fruit, leather, tobacco, incense, licorice and lavender infuse the 2022 with considerable nuance to match its virile, rather somber feel. 04/2023

The 2022 Les Cruzelles was picked between 1 and 12 September and matured in 50% new oak. This has plenty of fruité on the nose: small red cherries, redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit, a touch of cedar in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with wonderful definition and mineralité, dark fruit, hints of black tea and spices, really harmonious and sappy on the finish. Possibly the best Les Cruzelles that I have tasted at this stage and sure to be an unbeatable value-for-money. 04/2023

Couleur noire. Nez intense, fin, fruité, pur et très parfumé. Délicat en entrée de bouche, parfumé au milieu, avec un corps juteux, le vin fond au palais, sans cesse caressant. Il s'achève long, sur une grande finale savoureuse et séveuse. C'est superbe. Assemblage : 80 % merlot, 20 % cabernet franc. Degré d'alcool : 14°6 - pH : 3,75. Rendement : 28 hl/ha (petites baies de 0,9 g) . 04/2023

A solid red with blackberry, chocolate, walnut and hazelnut. Medium to full body. Smily face here, thanks to the ripe seeds. 04/2023
