Château Croizet-Bages

Château Croizet-Bages

The Château Croizet-Bages is located in the hamlet of Bages in the town of Pauillac, in the heart of the Médoc. It was founded in the 17th century by the Croizet brothers.

The Château Croizet-Bages will be named Fifth Grand Cru Classé during the famous 1855 classification for the Paris Universal Exhibition.

Since 1942, it has belonged to the Quié family, and today it is Anne-Françoise and Jean-Philippe Quié who govern it with a family passion that has remained intact.

The Château Croizet-Bages looks after a 26-hectare vineyard planted on deep gravel and gravelly sand soils, including 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. The wines are aged for 18 months, including 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels, with the proportion of new wood ranging from 50 to 55%.

The estate produces a Second wine, Alias de Croizet-Bages.

The Château Croizet-Bages offers generous, fleshy and concentrated wines, where the purity of fruit blends harmoniously with tannins and spices, the hallmark of great Pauillac wines.

Description Château Croizet-Bages 2022.

In retrospect, the 2022 vintage has been somewhat troubling in terms, among other things, of some of its weather characteristics.

On the one hand, the early frost, which in the end had little effect on the vintage’s earliness ; and on the pther, the dought and the heat, both of which began very early in the season and continued uninterrupted until the end of the harvest.

Château Croizet-Bages watched with concern as the vines suffered, but then also with astonishment as they proved to be capable of withstanding such severe conditions.

What made this vintage unusual was the length of this very hot, dry period.

What made it even more unusual was the vines response in terms of fruit, « freshness », and the delicacy of the tannins. 

JamesSucling.com : 92-93/100 

"Juicy and nicely fruity with blackcurrant, walnut and light spice character. Medium to full body. Chewy at the end. Should fill in more in the center palate with the elevage".

Available in imperfect

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
