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 2018.

Grand Cru Classé of Pauillac, located in the heart of the Médoc Regional Nature Park, Château Croizet Bages boasts an exceptional terroir. Planted on the slopes of the hamlet of Bages, the vines are worked with the greatest care to bring out the best in each harvest. A great vintage, the 2018 has an intense bouquet dominated by candied cherry. After aeration, tobacco notes and a light woodiness emerge. The palate is full-bodied and well-balanced. Fruit aromas are fully expressed, underlined by smooth, generous tannins.
