James Suckling 92pt

Olives, currants, graphite and dried herbs on the nose of this savory and mineral red. Lots of pencil-shaving character on the palate, which is medium- to full-bodied, fine-grained and focused. Cabernet sauvignon and merlot.

Wine Advocate 91pt

With a lively, fresh bouquet of cassis, mulberries and flowers, the 2022 Cruzeau possesses a moderately weighted palate with a juicy core of fruit, some freshness and a long, mouthwatering finish. This is a real classic at this address.

Wine Enthusiast 90pt

Under the Luquot family ownership for four generations, the wine is impressively ripe. Its big tannins and black fruits are enhanced by the wine's toast and spice aroma. Wood aging is an important element of the wine along with its ripe berry flavor.

Description

Since the 17th century, nature has been especially generous to Château de Cruzeau, whose superb gravel rises with perfect sun exposure were predestined for winegrowing. Today, the estate has nearly 100 hectares of vines. The wines of Château Cruzeau are widely recognized for their great finesse and elegance.

History

ANDRÉ LURTON is the company’s founder, for almost 70 years he dedicated his life to his vines, as only a man born in a wine chateau could do. Jacques Lurton now runs the family estates; he was nominated president of the group by his family in June 2019. His vast winemaking experience around the world over 30 years, has given him inspired and creative vision which he now transmits to the Vignobles Andre Lurton.

Tasting notes

The color is intense red, close to the color of garnet. The nose, very elegant, reveals all its richness of red fruits, ripe red currant, with a touch of spices and chocolate. On the palate, it is a well-balanced wine that offers a very nice structure, with well-coated tannins, tasty aromas of red fruits, freshness and a good length. Its ageing potential is high but it can be enjoyed now as an aperitif or with smoked duck breast, mushroom risotto or a cheese platter.
